That leaves a good deal of space for someone new. 8)Writergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989663734979755242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993532248455019753.post-27578103158368018262007-08-11T13:13:00.000-04:002007-08-11T13:13:00.000-04:00Don't worry about comparisons.

Those who love fantasy--and any genre--always want more in that genre, no?<BR/><BR/>Go for it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993532248455019753.post-88289592807461794512007-08-07T07:33:00.000-04:002007-08-07T07:33:00.000-04:00Thanks for that!

I did have a "Eureka!" moment last night on a question I had been considering about the story, so I suppose that's a good sign. Progress despite fear means leaving the fear behind sooner or later. 8)Writergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989663734979755242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993532248455019753.post-62471172752394432332007-08-07T00:35:00.000-04:002007-08-07T00:35:00.000-04:00Sorry no suggestions other than just let it go.

If you badger yourself into having no similarities to anything else, you'll have a book that never gets written.
