Hey, I've made a few posts over the past few days - but not yet introduced myself.
I've always had a slight interest in fantasy, but I'm not experienced in the genre. I read The Hobbit, the Lord of the Rings, and other works by Tolkien when I was younger, am currently reading A Song of Fire and Ice, and plan on buying Tigana, and borrowing the Wheel of Time series from a friend. What I've always been interested in though, was reading about ancient mythologies; Greek and Norse predominantly, but a little Celtic and Egyptian too. I also enjoy other fantasy media, films, video games and TV shows.
I remember when I was young, I wanted to write a fantasy story, but the novelty faded with time. Recently I decided I wanted to give it a shot, fully aware that it might just be a passing whim. I half expect to find I haven't really got what it takes. I've been slowly researching and piecing together my world, so I joined this forum, to see how others are going about planning and writing fantasy novels.
