yes, i'm trying to write a story. Sometimes it is difficult to be different from other stories like Lord of the rings. In my story i have a queeste and i use some of the creatures from LOTR like orcs and trolls but they can be find in more stories, so i don't care. I also created some new creatures, good and evil. I also use rases like elfs, men and dwarfs, but i don't use hobbits, i think that is part of LOTR so i will not use it. But i made three new rases myself.
I don't think i will immitade Tolkien much, i mean: there are a lot of fantasy stories and everybody is somehow using something from other stories, like creatures or names or whatever.
Sometimes it is difficult, writing a story. problems i had were: time you need for writing, problems with my spelling because i write to fast. other problems i had: finding names for characters, and not using to much names. so it is still understandable for others.
The most biggest problem i have is with connecting two different parts of the story; I mostly write pieces of stories, they come up in my head and i write it down, after that i have to connect it with or fill it in the parts of the story i already have written.
most problems can be solved by take some time, don't care about that even if your story would that take more time than you wanted. Think about what and how you can change it, mostly you will find a solution by yourself. sometimes talk to a friend, that can be very helpfull.
I'm writing now for almost one and a half year and it's almost finished. I'm already trying to find a publisher.
I'm writing because i want to use my creativity and fantasy. I want other peoples to have fun and show them my fantasy so they can join it and think of a world as i created. A world other then ours with strange creatures and items, with magic and mysterious things. I also want to see my name in stores, i think it will look cool and funny.
I also do it al little bit because almost no one of my friends will think i will really do it.
There are a few who think i will succeed and i have a lot of support from them. and that keeps you also writing you know.
If my book is going to be published I absolutly will write a part two.
I hope this will provide some information and help to some of you.
Greeting to all of you writers and LOTR-fans.
PS: Sorry for all the misspellings if any, I'm from holland you know.
PPS: I also write my story in dutch so you will probably never see it.
