This is amazing Providence!! I think I’ve FINALLY found someone here who haven’t read The Lord of the Rings yet. (not sure if you can see emojis but I’m inserting a laughing face in here right now :D)

LOTR is on my To Read list though.

Anyway, I agree with what Daeus said about K.M. Weiland and Tolkien. Tolkien wrote an essay (not quite a book) about writing/fantasy called “On Fairy Stories.” It’s absolutely amazing and gave me a lot of food for thought about the essence/purpose of fantasy, which is a genre I’m trying to write in. If you’re not into fantasy it’s still helpful in determining why we write stories and why we need stories.
