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

I found a way around not being able to write battles! At the moment, well, for about the past year or so, I have been bullied and on Friday last it reached its worst - I was pushed into the toilets, shoved around and basically ridiculed and beaten. However, despite it being a very nasty experience for me, something good did come out of it. Because of what happened, and has been happening for the past year and a half, I have harboured quite a lot of hate and anger. On Friday, after what happened, I went home, quite shaky, I decided to write some more on my story to calm me down, and all the hate that had been building up inside me suddenly came rushing out as a brilliant (if I do say so myself) battle sequence. It just goes to show that every cloud has a silver lining.
By the way, I may be sounding cheerful about this, and I guess I'm not that cut up about the bulling now, coz I released all the hate etc. into my story.
