Hey there people!
What a nice place this is. I like that a nice wee community like this exists, to share ideas, provide feedback, help with writing tips and even research tips...
I've always been a fan of fantasy, mainly stemming from my passion for history that was cultivated by my parents from a very young age. Originally I intended to write historical fiction, but chickened out after realising how much research I would have to do. So I thought I'd rather make up the societies than spend years of researching a particular period of history I'm interested in. That didn't fly either and I soon found myself doing the research anyway .
So now I'm about 40,000 words into my first fantasy novel, thought I write it as if it were in fact historical fiction, but I enjoy the freedom to go in any direction I want, not being bound by historical events.
I hope to be a part of this community and if you have any questions, just ask!
