Partner needed for historical fiction

Okay, I am starting the WFP now, @WritingPrincess @GodfreysBouillon
https://oasis.sandstorm.io/shared/d2H1z ... 3NeRKXKDDC
(can only hang out for 10-15 mins, just continue on without me, if I think something should be changed, I can bring it up later, and we can decide whether or not we should change it)

Something is wrong with the link of the WFP we used yesterday, so I will just mention everything we made progress on yesterday.
For the timeline and region, I prefer Greece, or the dark ages period. @GodfreysBouillon also liked this idea. What is your take on this, @WritingPrincess .
Also, it would be a good idea to start with a scene from the future, and then be like a few years ago... and then show the story from the starting. Again, your take on this.
And, yeah. Did I miss something?

I love this! I think Greek sounds good.

I don't know much about the Greek times but it'll be fun to learn, thats for sure.
Also, since we are going to be writing one story all together, I think it might be good to look at our talents, and our weaknesses, and assign roles.
For example, I can't write big blocks of flowery writing like JRR Tolkien, but I can write fighting scenes or quick blocks very well.
I also lack the ability to create enticing characters somewhat, but once they are created I can explore them very well.
Also I specialize in all the intricacies and small details in history, and I will strive to make it all historically accurate. I also excel in writing wars or anything related to military, so if we did that I could help tons.

What about you guys? What are you good at? What do you need help with?

The first thing I need help with is to know my strengths and weaknesses. I am so new to writing, I am mostly lost when it comes to figuring out what I do best, or worst. I am trying fantasy, sci-fi, mystery/suspence, romance and now historical fiction. So yeah, any tips on figuring this out?

I'm going to look over a lot of your writing during the Review day, and review some of your works.
That will help me know what you can do.

But I guess the best way to figure it out yourself is just experience, looking back over your writing, and receiving input from others.
I can help you on the last one for sure.

So now that all three of us like the idea of using Greece as the region, I have been researching on Greece, and these are the websites I came across-

Ancient Greek Civilization

Wikipedia- History Of Greece

The Ancient Greek World

I haven't read the whole articles since they are really long, but from what I have read in the starting, and contents page, I think these will be helpful.

Now we have to pick a specific year in the thousands of years of history of Ancient Greece. lol

Well there are a couple time periods that specifically stand out in Ancient Greece, and would make a great backdrop to the story.
1. Persian Invasion

2. Alexander the Great

3. Peloponnesian War

4. Trojan War

I'm in for Trojan War or something with Alexander the Great
What about you, @WritingPrincess

Guys, I’m really sorry, but at the moment my personal life is really hectic. I can’t carry on with this, but I wish you all the best.

Then i wish you the best of luck with dealing with whatever's troubling you.

Okay then, I guess it is the two of us.
Which period would you like?
As I said, I'm fine with Trojan War or Alexander the Great.

Okay, no problem. Good luck with your novel.
