Are You Writing Serious Fantasy?

[the guy who be short]

How much time do you spend, either directly or peripherally, thinking about your stories? Planning for them? Plotting?

most of my school lesson time ,lol! lets see... not much really. but thats because i know the bit im writing now. or do i? i need to spend a bt of time working on my plot.
i think as soon as the sats are over ill be spending lots of time on it.

i dont have mithril but i have adamant, a tough metal only dwarves can forge.

Have you found, since you started writing that you percieve things differenlty - for example, when gazing absently out of the window, do you see a motorway and a pile of dustbins (for example) or do you see them as potential for a great idea for one of your scenes? Do you see Crows or a new species of bird native only to the area where your story is set?

i was looking at my friends spiky hair and i thought... how about a story with nits in somebodies hair? all the spikes are war towers! may still use it.
when i see dustbins i think: how did my people dispose of waste. actually thats a good question. and one thatll be hard to ansswer. thank you very much [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

im half way through page 14... this is so long!

i was writing part of my poem at school, but im extremely shy when people read my work in front of me. so i wrote it in cirth runes (angerthas moria!) question: are you strangely like me? you dont mind people reading your work, but not in front of you? or if your shy, do you do it in cirth/tengwar when working around others?
