Looking for Fantasy Partner to work on epic story

I see that you are new and only have 1 post.

You have stumbled onto the world's greatest website for aspiring writers. This site, if you work it, will help improve your skills giving you all the tools to write your own book.

I do not mean to sound condescending or cruel, but good ideas are a dime a dozen. There is nothing really new in that regard. I literally have 20 dynamite book ideas and 100 short story ideas.

The real challenge is the execution of those ideas. That is what writing is all about.

Now, it is possible that there are talented writers that have no ideas and will stumble on this thread and think "Wow, this is exactly what I need" and email you.

But it is not likely.

Writing a book is no easy task, it is literally thousands of hours of work. And often times, the drive and determination to do that much work can only be found in the originator of the idea. Or put another way, how often does someone dedicate a year of their life becuase of someone else's idea?

Here is my suggestion. Take a break from your book and switch to short stories for a few months. Write a few, post them in Share Your Work, become a contributing member to this site, work the site, read the posts, critique the stories of others, and grow in your writing prowess.

Once you get a short story accepted by a publisher, then you will know that you have the 'ability' to write a publishable story. Then, with this newfound experience come back to your book and give it a go.

This site is the best thing to ever happen to aspiring writers, it can literally mold you into a world class author, but you have to give us a chance. ANd it will not happen over night. Assuming that you are at the beginning stage, it will take about a year and that is assuming you work this site on a daily basis.

Also, here is a thread that will shave months/years off your learning curve. It is long, but if you read it 15 minutes per day, you can get through most of it in a month. I only made it half way through and it worked wonders for my writing.

That is my advice. Work this site, make friends here, and in the process maybe you will find a writing partner that meshes well with you and 'together' you can write this masterpiece of yours.

That is probably your most likely path to success.

Otherwise, the odds of a talented writer with no ideas stumbling across this thread is rather low. It could happen, but I doubt it.

In any event, good luck.

You may find some writing partners on here,

Over the years, I have cultivated many great online friendships on this website and have even Beta'd a couple of manuscripts on here.

If your goal is to find a writing partner, you have come to the right place. So don't be discouraged.

I'm merely saying that your odds will go way way way up if you become a regular here. After a few months of posting and critique-ing and contributing you are bound to make a lot of online friends here and out of those friends, there is a good chance someone would like to partner with you.

It sounds like you've done a lot of writing so you should fit in well here so don't be discouraged.

Good luck

Hey DR...what are the big ideas in your series? Good overcomes evil? Evil crushes good? No good or evil? Do you have a one sentence description of your book/trilogy? I have found that marketability trumps everything. As a consumer of fantasy, I know this is true.
