Oh my GOSH...This is sooooo hard. I'm taking my LotR fic When a Shadow Falls and turning it into an original fiction piece. I love the plot and my storyline and want to DO something with it in the future. But creating a back story and world that isn't too darned close to Tolkien's is proving hard. Thankfully I don't know everything about his world, makes it a bit easier, but wow this is nuts. I try not to confuse myself when I'm writing, but if anyone wants to be a tester for me, please let me know. By tester I mean read the prologue (it's short) and see if you understand the world and if it is not a spin off of Tolkien. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg

HEY! Being 14 puts you in the age bracket I'm writing for so who better to read the story and critique it than you!? Besides, you know lotr and can tell me if it is TOO alike and everything. Right now I am still working things out, but if you like I can e-mail you the prologue...which is kind of like a first chapter. It is very short. So far, the entire book looks like it would be about 450-500 pages...in Garamond, 12-point font. Pretty good considering I'd say!
Anyhow...this is so difficult I'm going nuts here but i really want this to work!!!
Wish me luck!

Alright! For once my age help something!! LOL I'm sure it will work fine! I SO want to read it whether or not you get it published! lol...So you can send it to me when ever you feel like it...remember...Writing about something you love is supposed to be fun. Don't let it stress you out...it can wait until your frustration has dulled. Give it time to develop in your brain, it’s not like you have a deadline yet...right?

Thank you thank you thank you Morn for reminding me there really is no rush with this story! And I will definitely let you read it, though you will be well-versed in the story anyway because it is going to be much the same dialogue as the current When a Shadow Falls. But hey, in a few days I might shoot you the prologue and you can tell me what you think!

Thanks for reminding me!
