I have never really liked writing. In school when we are required to write a story, I put to much detail and events into them, and they end up being at least 8 pages long while everyone else has 1-2 pages.
However, I was in school a couple weeks ago, and on an impulse of my own, I felt like writing. I began jotting down ideas, and it is now coming along nicely. It is fantasy, my favorite kind of story because you can make anything happen, and it seems possible.
And yes, Tolkien has influenced my writing very much. Especially with names. Like Elennar Starfire, I have a list of names that I take from whenever I need to. Many of them sound like they could come straight from Tokien`s works.
