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

Hi, Morquesse, it was really an open-ended question. What do you like to write, dialogue? narrative? battle scenes? descriptions of the places? poetry? myth? folk tale? etc.

Anybody else who wants to respond to this new question, feel free, of course. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

As for me, I was told way back in '86 that I had a gift for dialogue and needed to work on my description so I really did a lot of dialogue and worked on the description, and my writer's group has been encouraging me to cut cut cut unnecessary dialogue and scale back on the description. Ah, me. They're right, of course. What I really like writing is mythic stuff from prehistory, like origins stories in the deeps of time before the Goths came out of Scandinavia.
