I have a problem with trying to stay away from Tolkien as well. I just finished my first book [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] {yay} and it was entirely fantasy. I kept having to go back and reword things because I felt it was too much like Tolkien. It's hard, but somehow you just have to work around it.
