Starbreeze, I'm very sorry to hear you're being bullied-- I remember dealing with all of that stuff, ugh! You're doing the right thing writing through it, good job! Don't just console yourself, though, get some advice locally, and make some trouble! You should not have to put up with this, and if your school does not have an anti-bullying program in place, it flaming well should! Grrr. What you describe in writing your battle scene is a major function of writing fantasy, or any kind of story: to pull the causes of your fury and sadness out of the back of your mind, where they can rule you and cloud your mind, into the page under your eyes, where you gain the perspective to rule them. Also, writing from a strong emotion does tend to produce better work.
