Hi everyone. I've been working on my first attempt at a fantasy novel, and Honastly, I don't know what people think of it. Instead of asking people from other forums, I decided to come here to an actual writing site, for critiques.
I would love to know anything you like or don't like. It's a work in progress, so I will act on those things in the next group of chapters.
I understand it's confusing to some, I'll be posting a map onto it of the area in which it takes place, if it's not up already.
One question, is there a way to add separate chapters in my story, or do I have to just group it into one writing?
Any sort of comment would be very appreciated.

Hello again, I wrote some brief comments on your site. In addition, I suggest you read at least one book by the magnificent SF writer---Orson Scott Card and Ender's Game would be a good start. Check out the imagination of this great writer. Also read at least one book by the MAGNIFICENT Historical writer Conn Iggulden(what a joy to read his books). The only negative thing is I read each one of his two series --- Roman Empire and Ghenghis Khan so quickly I had to read them over. The scenes will give you an idea of story flow for your own book. Enjoy. Richard LP

Hi Areo,
Can I suggest you comment on the work of other writers on the site. If you comment on my work for example you will suddenly find that I comment on yours!!

Can I also suggest that you post these chapters in parts - the length of your post is rather daunting!

Hello Aero.
I haven't read said fantasy novel of yours as yet, but I will surely get around to it.
I would just like to note — if you haven't yet considered it; have heard of but never partaken in; or simply never came across it, but would like to — that, based on your desire "...to come here to an actual writing site, for critiques," there is another site meant for just that. It's called Scribophile (URL http://www.scribophile.com/) and it's a writing community where you earn "Karma Points" (by critiquing other writers' on that site posts) and in return they critique, comment, and/or rate your posts. It's a great way to get feedback, learn, and enjoy thousands of other writing.
*(Not sure if this type of "promotion" of another site is allowed, however...).
