Those fantastic people over at The Fantasy Hive have released their  Most Anticipated Fantasy Books of 2018  and... I'm on it with The Traitor God! As a debut novelist this is both totally unexpected and gives me ALL the good feels.  I think all novelists have the same worries: that your book will be released and sink without a trace, that nobody will read it, like it, review it or even notice it. It comes with putting your work out into the public sphere, but I reckon it has to be worse with your first word-baby. Mostly, I just hope people will enjoy it. Interesting times are ahead, and the game is afoot!

I've been doing this writing lark properly for a few years now and I've learned a massive amount, enough to be helpful to others. On the fantasy fiction and writing forums I frequent I encounter the same basic questions being asked again and again from less experienced writers: -What do you think of my idea X (very cliched idea) -I've written something - now what? -Er...is this punctuation correct? -How do I make it better? How do you edit? -How do I find publishers/markets? With that in mind I've decided to create a writing resources page on this site that I will update with other sites and resources of interest to people developing their writing skills. I'm hoping that some of you will find it useful.
