| Salutations... My first observation is that this place is very extensive. I couldn't decide where to go first. Seems appropriate to introduce myself first, anyway. I am a 27-year-old fantasy writer from Dundee, Scotland. I've not had anything published as yet (nor have I had anything rejected...have I done anything? You bet, but anyway, I'm guessing I'll be far from alone here). I have been working on my world, characters and story structures for the best part of ten years now, but I feel there'll be a few more passing before I'm ready to let anyone take the knife to it... Anyway, enough about me. I'm here. Hello to you. |

| Re: Salutations... Hi Sephiroth - welcome to the Chrons (which includes chronic madmen (and women), chronic fibbers, chronic dreamers - well anything in the chronic line really) and hope you will enjoy it here. Perhaps you might post some of your stuff in the critiques thread? |

![]() Thanks for the welcome, guys. It makes a difference. ![]() SpaceShip, I will certainly consider it. I'm rather...wary...of putting anything online that relates to the main story structure of the novels (pah, what novels?), but I'm sure that writing something short set somewhere in the same world would be a good exercise for me. Heaven knows the world is big enough, temporally and spatially; it's about time there was a bit more actual narrative writing going on. Hopefully it will not be chronic. I read something good in the critiques thread earlier on. Maybe I will be inspired... | |

| Re: Salutations... Hello and Welcome! I'm in the same boat as you, Sephiroth! My work's out with an editor who's assessing it ATM - *bites fingernails* - and then I'll have all the changes to make to it. Good luck with your project! Ten years shows your determination and love of the novel. I've only been working on my book for five years. Hope to see you around! |

| Re: Salutations... In the same boat, but you are at the top of the gangplank and I'm locked in me cabin dunny! Good luck to you! I sincerely hope you are successful with it! You may well have done more work in your five years than I have in my ten... Ten years shows my anal, aspirational perfectionism and constant failure to meet the high standards I set for myself. That, and the construction of a world of ridiculous, mind-numbing complexity, much of which serves no purpose to the story and exists purely because of my love of doing it. *sigh* I really do love it, though. |

| Re: Salutations... ah another perfectionist I am still trying for the perfect post. It has to be original,funny,yet with profound undertones,moving,but not melodramatic,zesty,but not overbearing,not overly political,but not eschewing major issues,either,it must be airy,yet solidly rooted,classical with an innovative tenor,it has to rock,but here ought to be jazzy improvisation in it,it has to be cosmopolitan and global,yet shouldn't tread on the feelings of the indigenous peoples of the world |
