Hullo Ru! Kudos on finishing your first draft of a story! I didn’t do that until just last year. How’s revision going? I probably ought to be revising, but I don’t really know where to start. I’m just so fond of the first draft, you see, despite it’s glaring problems.
Do you enjoy reading? Ah, I just found your profile page. I highly approve of your choice of favorite book. Have you read the Silmarillion? I did, at one point, but I remember very little of it. Who are authors you would most like to emulate?
Do you live in the US? Your profile makes it look like you might not . . .

I do enjoy reading but only because of Tolkien. I hated reading until I read the Hobbit and then I realized books are interesting! I started the Silmarillion but about halfway I had to stop to read for school and cannot find my place. I remember quite a bit IF I jog my memory. I would like to emulate Tolkien but yet make my own style so I’m not completely a copy cat and actually have my own voice. I know I’ve set my goal REALLY high but as a character of mine said, “Reach for the sky and then reach for space.” (but then again, his son says, “Try to reach for the sky and then give up.” I’m wondering which one I will be!)
I do live in the US, in what is called the Last Quiet corner of CT by some people. Some actors like to buy houses and retire here. The profiles are trying to get the message across that I like horses (correction: am CRAZY about horses) and like the Rohirrim, hence the fan art by someone I do not know at the top. I don’t really like to post pics of myself on the internet, just a personal preference.
I look forward to learning more about you and your characters, when I saw that you had replied to that one person on Introduce Yourself , you gave me courage, thank you.
