write a fantasy novel

WEll i wrote one already…its called Windrider, but its only 266 pages long, and that’s in book format.

I finished the draft of my dark fantasy novel (actually this is a second draft, but the first didn’t have an ending- this one does). The book stands at almost 100k words. It took me a full year to get to this point. I’m not ticking this goal off yet, because I am not done – need to send out to beta readers, revise, polish, and then query.

It’s been a very frustrating process – alternating between immense pleasure and complete despair. I have no idea how I didn’t give up on the book. But I’m very happy it’s complete. All kinds of things can be done with a full draft, whereas an incomplete draft is the worst thing in the world, imho.

I’ve been working on my novel for several months. I haven’t started writing yet, because I’ve been laying down the plot/storyline, building people, items, and places, and ironing out flaws and kinks in the timeline and plot. But the hardest part for me is actually writing the story. I have a great work of art in my hands, ready to be painted on a blank canvas for the world to view, yet I don’t know where to start. It’s actually kind of a complicated issue. I’ve laid the overall groundwork for the plot but how do I write the actual story, like conversations, and small actions (such as doing homework)? Do I improvise these small things as I go along, or do I plan out every minor detail in the story. It would please me to no end to hear another persons opinion on this subject. I hope to finish this by my 12th grade year. I guess I ave two years left on my hands…

I want to write a fantasy novel but cant think of an idea… Any ideas?

This is really weird, but it’s actually happening. I am on the second draft of my novel, completed about 40% of it… We’ll see how it goes.

My book is coming aong but every day i change alot of things and never complete it. And my first 5 plot were simalar to animes…

My fantasy book is coming along but I’m now doing some research to make sure I’m not stealing anything.

I’ve attempted to write so many stories and have never really completed anything close to a novel. I’d really like to do that. So, yeah. I plan to try before I gradutate High School in June of 2009.

I’ve written since i was very young and it has always been my dream to write a novel, having it published would be a big bonus lol.
I live in a bit of a fantasy world so it’s something I’ve always been drawn to.
My roblem has always been i have a million ideas in my head but find it hard to put it down on paper, but now I’m nearing 30 I’m more determined.
Definitely not something I expect to get done soon this will be an ongoing process for a long time

I, too, am very adept at formulating spectacular book ideas. Alas, with college eating me alive, I haven’t the time to seriously sit down and write. I brainstorm and outline all the time, perhaps with a few short passages here and there, but nothing solid. Yet. I guess I should stop worrying about getting huge chunks of it done at once, and concentrate on short increments. But DAMN THAT LITTLE GRAMMAR NATZI INSIDE!!
