Hey there to everyone, just reaching out to find places with like minded people and came across this forum. I'm 32 but wrote my first story when I was 12, the writing in the following years has been generally sporadic but I have kept coming back to it. My stepmother actually halted my writing by saying I should ignore it because no-one would read it and my formerly low self esteemed self listened and as such many projects lay in pads for around 10 years. I started writing properly again in my early 20s and have written on off since then while juggling life and unusual jobs (including fraud department in a bank and falconer in a zoo).
It is only really in the last few years that I have given my writing any real thought, I went into a period of overdrive in July when inspiration just suddenly grabbed me for a new book, abandoned everything else I was writing and started a fantasy comedy. It took 42 days to write (109,551 words long) never written anything at that speed before, and I enjoyed it so much I just carried straight on, I hope to finish the third in the series within the next few days and have a few friends reading to see what they think and everything so far has been positive, which has really surprised me as I haven't ever really tried to have anyone read anything (never thought anything would be good enough). My fiancée started reading it (she is a poet with a few publications in anthologies). She enjoyed it enough to say I should actually start trying to get things out there, which in turn has led me here. I hope a few people take some time to read this post, my style is absolute fantasy comedy, conversation heavy (I like the characters to do the talking rather the narrator, you find things out along with them) and have been told that I do people well.
I have a facebook page for my writing now as well. https://www.facebook.com/davebeefantasyworks?fref=ts
