Greetings, people. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Are any of you writing serious fantasy?
Very much so(though I'm more of a thinker then a writer at the moment)

how have you dealt with the temptation to be imitative of Tolkien?
I get rid of everthing I have thought of, and start over.

How long have you been working on your story, and why?
About two years, and because I enjoy it.

What pitfalls have you faced and how have you overcome them - or not?
Well, copying others, (I told you how I got rid of them up above)
and lack of plots, which I overcome by doing more thinking.

I hope to continue having discussions with you guys, and I hope I'm accepted. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

See ya,
~M
