Seriously though. I did sign my life away to the typewriter, or was it, on the typewriter. Any how, I'm stuck in this place and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. I guess find a job and rent out a apartment for the night?

Well Stori, my fancy has always been David Eddings' fantasy novels. I like to write both fantasy and historical-fiction. My settings for my historical fiction usually date from the late thirties to the mid sixties. I do have a link somewhere on here to a preview of one of the books I am working on to get published. It'd be great if you checked it out.

Hi jimdandy!

Welcome to YWS, the best writing community on the web!

Historical fiction? Wow, that's rather rare, and really impressive. I love reading historical fiction—it's fascinating! I have never had the research skills or dedication to write a historical fiction novel, though, so I salute you! Please link up your preview here, so I can get a look. I'm really curious. I hope you get published! Good luck with that, and if you get rejected by one publisher, don't give up! Ask another!

Anyway, if you want a review or an answer or just a friendly chat, feel free to ask me :)

Enjoy!

Hi barefootrunner! I'm still in the process of making a solid plot due to most of my writing is poured out in one sitting. I'll post a link to the site I'm previewing it. You will ned to download the .doc version to view it.
