I only feel proud of one.. =(

oh, pride is another thing, the ones i feel proud of are usually not so good or occasionally not even finished

I can't draw, but I put my pride in my writing... Or I would if I felt like any of it was worth posting anywhere...

the ones i feel proud of are the ones I did good with =(

My friends say that my writing is really good, except for one... But I still don't feel good enough.
Which is stupid because I don't feel good enough until my writing is equal to Tolken's.

Some people would argue that Tolkien isn't actually that good. Writing can't be defined by one aurthor or many it is each induviduals own style that creates writing. Like I know many people think I'm a good writer but the first line on my Author's singnature is "I'm a writer, who can't write much."

haha, his stuff was original enough that it does not matter if he was any good hahaha

Well. I look up to a lot of different authors. I would of said Hubert, but I'm not sure you'd know who that is, and I kinda dislike his writing style. His books are amazing.

I know his stuff was original, but have you read his prequels to "The Hobbit"? They bore me to sleep. Plus, the names are impossible to pronounce.

For Tolken, the thing I look up the most to him for is setting some of the laws and basic beliefs of fiction that are taken for granted now. Before him, a group of dwarves were dwarfs, and a group of elves was elfs. His series is also one of the best selling of all time. All things I want my book to do when I finally get around to feeling safe to try and publish it.

I did relize he made "elfs" into "Elves" interesting. And you never know how well you books will be accepted by the public until you publish them. There is a way you can have you book electronically published, but I don't know specifics.

Yeah. And that's what scares me the most. What if people hate what I write. My first book HAS to be good, or else they won't ever read anything else I write.

actually you can preview it by setting a fictionpress account, it's one of those plces where you can write your story in installments and get direct feedback from readers

That sounds familiar...

google it, it's neat(well it's sister site is i had a bad expireince searching the place and won't go back)

The place I was talking about was not fictionpress but that is a good idea if you really aren't sure. Though the traffic on Fictionpress is at an all time low.:(
