5 - 7 facts about your novels/stories/fanfics:
~It took me two years and ten months to write The Journey, start to finish. I went crazy when I was done, moaning-gasping-whooping-floppingonthefloor crazy.
~The entire planned series for Legea covers just over twenty-six years, the first four happening in one year and the final book (several volumes in length) taking place twenty-four years after the close of the first and lasting another eighteen months. The last book also includes roughly ten main characters and an uncounted (but it's a LOT) number of lesser characters.
~Writing romance is always an interesting undertaking for me, an exercise if you will -- see, I don't write romance to "write romance", but it happens in my stories all the same and I'm intrigued by the way relationships are developed and expressed in different characters. I seem to watch myself write as I do it. Very curious undertaking.
~I'm currently very proud of the way I'm managing Flare in the Darkness, and busy plotting evil schemes for all the FEELZ that are waiting for you in just a few chapters...
~I have only one character that I've ever cast as an actor in my head, but oh, he is perfect... Sean Bean as Berethar of Mycraí. (See info on Berethar in "Cruel Tag", "Anti-MarySue Tag", and "This Tag is Fun" if you wish)
~In The Journey, there was once a fourth member to the party... a brother named Powhatan. And if you want, you can read the full explanation of him in my humorous chroniclings of old writing, When I Was Rather Young.
~My writing used to try to delve very deeply into the psychological aspects of thought, feeling, emotion and trains of thought, so that my characters would contemplate such things until I got annoyed with it and made them be annoyed at themselves. It was a long, wretched circle of annoying-ness.
List as many books/series/movies/authors as you can that have influenced your writing. Or if nothing in particular has, the books that inspired you to start writing.
I think it's difficult to say that anything inspired or influenced my writing in my earliest years of doing it, simply because all the books I'd ever read were a mesh of good writing in my brain at that point XD
But later, certain authors stood out as strong pointers for me to follow:
J.R.R Tolkien
C.S. Lewis
Rosemary Sutcliff
And the LotR movies are always inspiring...
