Lol. Well I am a little bit of a nerd deep down.

Its not for everyone, but my target audience would be young adults, from sixteen and up really.

Its a mature novel, though not say rated R?

word son, you got a link to this shit or what

like I read your first book, liked that although to give constructive criticism i'd prolly have to go back and read it again coz its been a while


but yeah, high fantasy is that shit.. hard as hell to write, but if you enjoy it like I do then its definitely worth it.

160,000 words is cool.. i know this dude though called Miller.. wrote a book Dragon Lord Legends that is like 460,000 words.. fucking long as hell, but dope as fuck.

Interesting...

I think if I was going to write a novel it would be sci fi... or modern and in some way half factual, just twisting the truth a little to fit in with the story.

i really dont think id get off on creating a whole new world...

i recon it would be cool if you placed an explorer from the early 1900's where they accidently found a cave with a portal into a new universe...

thats about as fantasy as id go...

yeah, creating a whole new world is either great fun or a pain in the ass

i have learned though that sumtimes it can be both

It all really depends how much detail you really want to put into it.

Crafting your own world requires crafting cultures, people, and religions. Geographic locations, etc, etc. Details of how everything looks, how the weather reacts...the factors are really endless. Though you can only see as much detail as you can imagine.

It is a lot of work versus using a world that is already created and living for you, with you being able to see details of the world with your very eyes instead of your imagination.

01-11-09 03:14 AM

i can tell you dont write a lot of books but HEY we gotta start somewhere

i suggest that you write book after book, secure the title of author and by the time you're dead, you'll be famous

no doubt holler sometime my nerdy g

I feel you on that, it took me months to craft the world I'm using for my stories. I got about 20 different maps for it. I had to make a history, all the geographical locations, cultures/religions for each individual race, a history for each race, plus a bunch of other shit.

The hardest thing I found is trying to create your own language, that is something I am trying to really learn how to do at the moment whilst I write.

sounds to me like you should be a video game programmer instead, nick.

that's pretty much what I wanted to be when I was younger

too much work to get there though

at least with writing you need no qualifications other than actual talent and an imagination :)
