Hey Guys, I just joined this forum along with another one similar to this called writing forum. I am a sophomore in college and am totally new to this writing thing. I have always loved reading fantasy writings mostly being C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkein. Over the past month I just really felt inspired to start writing. I have been looking up a TON of information on the internet on writing and fantasy writing. One thing I am currently doing is creating a world and my characters. If anybody has any tips for a new writer at all I would GREATLY appreciate them!!! Oh and one more thing...... obviously I have drawn a lot of inspiration from the two authors I just mentioned but as I am planning my story it's really hard not to compare my ideas with theirs. I sometimes feel like my ideas are just stupid compared to theirs and I also struggle with trying to be original.... to many scenes from their books flood my mind. Any tips on working past that?
