Finding time to write is a problem for me at the best of times. And with my husband away and the kids running around like hypo midgets I find myself using that excuse more and more often. I don't even think that this is the real problem anymore! I have gotten to the point where I need to move forward from where I am in my novel and quite frankly it scares me.
So I have decided to start posting my outline etc. I have started to make myself paranoid with all the talk of clichés and would like some feedback on the story. I never realized how difficult it would be to make epic fantasy 'different'! So while I know some people won't like it I am going to try to stop second guessing myself and go with what i think fits. The time will come to start worrying about what everyone else thinks later.
Stay tuned.... Fall of Light will be emerging soon!
Clichés are what make fantasy what it is, in my opinion. I don't consider mine terribly cliché, but if it's written well, I won't hesitate to read a nice, cliché book. People feel comfortable with clichés. Remember that, and write your story the way it's meant to be!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your outlines. :)
