Introductions, introductions, introductions!

Hello all!

Unsurprisingly, I am an aspiring writer looking to hone his craft. I write a lot of fantasy stories and always have. The fantastic has always served as a source of inspiration, a place of solace, an old friend who is always there and a true home to me over the years. I look forward to my experience here!

As a bit of additional information about me: I am also a guitarist. Music is good for the soul. Fun stuff, that.

Welcome, and I agree that music is good for the soul. In fact, I feel that making music is as close to making magic as it gets.

Yay, I play guitar, too! Although...to other people it probably looks like I'm inappropriately fondling my poor guitar rather than playing it because I don't play properly. So what do you play (acoustic? electric?) and what styles do you like? What sort of fantasy do you like to read and write?

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks so much for the warm welcome!

I play both acoustic and electric. I have so many guitars! When I play electric I play a lot of psychedelic rock and blues. I was really into gypsy jazz a few years back so you can still hear a lot of that in my playing. When I play acoustic I play a lot of folky stuff or medieval lute music transcribed for guitar.

As for my preferred brand of fantasy. I write anything from medieval-setting fantasy to urban fantasy to fantasy set in worlds of my own design. Lately, though, I've been focusing a lot more on urban fantasy. I'm sort of on a kick of it, so to speak, in my own writing.

Also, play the guitar however you like, my friend. It's about how it makes you feel.
