And that's what millions (I dare to use that number) of Tolkien fans already tried. And some writers have finished this attempt in creating some of the books mentioned above. Not that I am skeptic on that, but... one should not think of himself more than he ought...

EDIT: Looks like William has similar thoughts on that. And I believe we are not the only ones.
