Are You Writing Serious Fantasy? II - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I decided to write a story because I've always loved writing of all sorts, I'm actually an award winning poet so I've got a lot of experience.
I am writing a fantasy book and one of my main inspirations was Lord of the Rings, it just struck me as the benchmark of fantasy and originality.
It's so hard to be original when Tolkiens done almost everything already.
