Wanderers' Tale

In December my friend and I decided to write a round-robin fan fiction. We decided not to discuss the plot and see where we would end up. Three of the four main characters are singers of famous bands and the other is an original character. As the story progressed, we tumbled into the fantasy genre and noticed that the plot was quite interesting. Eventually we decided to finish of the fan fiction and than start to reform it into an original story.

Now that the fan fiction is coming towards it's end, we started planning the original story which got the working title Wanderers' Tale. It's going to be a series since too much is going to happen to be able to tell in one book. Now we have the idea of for books in our mind, though that can still change. While a lot of people think it isn't wise for a first time writer to start with a series, we will do it anyway. I know it is going to be hard to find a publisher, especially because series from unknown authors are risky. But if we cannot find a publisher, we might as well publish it ourselves as an e-book. That part is, however, still far away since we still have to write the first book. What makes the writing process perhaps a bit harder, is the fact that we are not writing it in our native language Dutch, as the title suggest, but in English. Perhaps studying English linguistics and literature at University will come in handy to write these books.

The series will be about four people who get lost in the woods due a storm. Getting out of the woods, however, is a lot harder than they thought, especially with the mysterious events that start taking place. More I cannot say (yet).

I am going to use this blog to post updates about the story but you can also follow the progress on Facebook and Twitter.
