Liridan Trilogy

So, in the case that you might want to read the whole, nasty thing, here it is. I'm afriad that LJ cut out all the formating, so imagine that all of the book titles are in italics.

The Effect of the Liridan Rebellion Trilogy

The Liridan Rebellion was a trilogy of books I wanted to write.  The three books are Ratharen, Katara, and Aelaris.

(I didn`t see this one >.< at least it`s slightly easier to read.)

We are all easily influenced by what we read, I think. It makes writing something original difficult.

I`ll second the Stackpole recommendation, though I`ve only read two of his books as yet.

Finishing is very hard to do. And I don't think that it is just the practicalities of having the time and motivation to sit there and write the sheer volume of words necessary. I think that because writing a complete story takes time - years in many cases - as a person you will have changed from the person you were at the beginning. You lose sight of the motivation and the world and the characters you started to write about, because they were a product of that earlier time, and that time is gone ... replaced with another, which sets off a new round of ideas and motivation. Distraction, drifting, change. It's hard to keep a focus. I think also the problem is more acute for young writers. Teens, late teens ... well, anything up to middle age probably, is a time of great growth and change. Schools, colleges, universities, houses, friends, relationships all change, and so of course, your inspiration changes with them. It is a guess, but I think that an older person, with a settled home, settled family and settled life, might

Yeah. It's why anyone published under about forty is considered a young writer. Dusk is still undyingly awesome, though, and it should be remembered that while the writer may grow older, the audience for a piece (the people who are in that audience turn over, obviously).

I know that the Drifting Away thing happened to tLR. It's even more acute when I look back to Trazin's Tale, or even further to Prince Alexander's tale, or further to the stories of the character Nil. I was so immature back then, in thought and practice.

Ah well.

Fixed the formatting. Yay.
