Dance of the Jaldare - Under Construction

The purpose of this blog is to give a little insight into the complex and often tedious journey I have experienced since I set out to write my Fantasy Trilogy entitled, Dance of the Jaldare.

Like all budding writers, my journey has been one of frustration. There have been those dreaded periods of mental blocks, and then times of elated inspiration; intervals of hopeless rejection and those not so often, moments of smug satisfaction. I cannot say it has all been fun, but I can truthfully say, it's all been worth it.

Besides providing chapter samples and progress updates, the blog examines the importance of world building, techniques in how to keep the plot under control and the original idea true, and the reliance on positive and constructive feed-back and criticism. There will be a host of tips gleaned from other authors on how to improve your writing; style, characterising, plot, chronology and geographical layout.

In the process it will also showcase my achievements as an author and touch on other projects currently in development, be it other written pieces or artwork relating to my written works.
So please bear with me while I fumble my way through the process of setting up the page in a format that will hopefully be both entertaining as well as easy to navigate. And check back with me soon.
