Hi Everyone I'm new here, I like to class myself as a writer....
I love fantasy books by the likes of Tolkien and George R.R. Martin. I have finished writing my first novel! Now I am editing it and it's taking ages. I know I'll be asking many questions to you all ;)

It's a fantasy about a man living a simple life, who is then thrown into a world divided by magic and politics.

Uh oh, late greeter to the table. I’ll just congratulate you on finishing your story (a more proper way to address it is a draft) and having your first draft is huge. It tells you that you can stick to it until it’s done and that is big. Books take a long time to finish and if anyone can stay on it until completion that shows you have patience, a vision, and a little bit of flash to finish it.

Anyway, good luck with your writing. We’ll always be here.
