I've always had a love for fantasy, and to this day LOTR and The Inheritance Cycle remain some of my favorite books. There are limitless possibilities when you're writing, but with fantasy, it's different. You don't have to adhere to rules or logic; you can create whatever type of world you want. Characters can live in a dystopian society, a grand futuristic city, a picture-perfect world, or a medieval wasteland. Time, technology, and magic are all there for the taking, and as a writer, you get to choose what defines your story.
I truly enjoy writing, and I hope you enjoy reading my works just as much.

I like this question. I would have to say, when I write something and I'm happy with it, but when I do my revisions, I don't like it at all.
It's challenging because I now have to change what I wrote to make it fit into the story. It's never been a major issue, but it's always been tough to figure out.
Thanks for the question, Callum!(less)

My first work (if you can even call it that) was awful to say the least. But I enjoyed it. So I wrote and wrote. Eventually, I got better until I decided to see how good of a writer I was. I wrote my first ever work and learned so much from it. But it still needed work. However, I believed I was ready to create my magnum opus, and thus, Conquest was created. I put more time and effort into The Quest For Freedom than all other works combined. (less)
