Russ
Istar
I have bumped into Mythic Scribes and have been immediately impressed.
Anyways I guess I should introduce myself.
My name really is Russ, and I have a background in history, particularly military, classic and medieval, and had the privilege of teaching "Medieval History of Writers" at Seton Hill's great Masters program in genre fiction.
I also have a lot of experience in Western Martial Arts, studying at AEMMA (AEMMA - Academy of European Medieval Martial Arts) and have fought many times with real steel, in and out of armour.
I also have had the chance to assist some pretty good authors with research and editing. They would include Rob Sawyer and Nalo Hopkinson.
To keep body and soul together I work as a lawyer.
I have decided it was time to write a fantasy novel that has been percolating in my brain for a while, and am about 60,000 words in. I am hopeful that your advice and guidance will improve my efforts. Character seems to be my weak point at the moment, but I am discovering new weak points all the time.
If there is anything I can do to assist you on your writing journey please do not hesitate to ask.
Sometimes I do "disappear" for a few weeks when I am doing a trial, so if I do not get back to you quickly please don't take offense.
