What do I say?

“The Road goes ever on and on down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, and I must follow, if I can, pursuing it with eager feet, until it joins some larger way where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.” ~ J.R.R. Tolkien

Whenever I write, I think of that.

You know, it’s true how quotes can be taken as a word of ramble, or genuine symbolism. When I sit down and when I open Chapter One, I am thinking to myself about this Lord of the Rings message. Sure, it might just be about a few hobbits but really the same message applies.

Times will be long and hard and you may not know where to go, but the path is before you.

I have been writing my novel, Ever Wayward, since around January, and have only just started my blog! I know, it’s terrible, but hey!

Anyhow, my name is Mark, and I live to write. To give you a bit of an insight:

Currently, I am at around 25, 000 words, so it is going very slowly at the moment. However, I have decided that deadlines and word count targets just worry you, and inevitably slow you down. I am in the process of rewriting it, so, anyway.

My main character’s name is Aedomir, and he is an exile who is desperately trying to reunite with his companions, but has been thrown into a world of power. I enjoy writing high fantasy, but I am interested to try a more humorous genre, and develop my writing further. I enjoyed writing with music to get me in my creative mood.

At the moment, I am reviewing the prospect of various pieces I am writing. I don’t know whether to go back to Ever Wayward, which is slowly falling apart or not. If I do, it will involve a complete rewrite of it. Or, there is my other story, Ancestry. It is very unique, but maybe a bit too challenging for me.
