I've read some fantasy books since my first (mostly Epic and High,for those that can differentiate) and as so many others before I took the leap to create my own world.
At first, I tried my hand at worldbuilding in manga literature(since I 'm a fan of those too) but I, eventually, dropped it because I'm artistically challenged

and manga do need a certain level of ability in drawing(which I don't have

).
At any rate,recently, I've started writing my world.
Don't get me wrong it's mostly small details or information about the mechanics of my wannabe world, a little bit of theogony, some character trivia,how the magic system works,what races exist and their connections etc.
Well, if it wasn't for internet I don't know if I'd have achieved anything.
I should make it clear that I've in no way "studied writing" and English is not my native language.
Through one of my long reading sessions on the web I came upon the site and the forum.
I only lurked a bit before i registered and quickly came to the introductions thread to post my first comment and ,hopefully, be guided by my seniors.
I would,also, like to receive recommendations for books to read or reviews for books that I hesitate to read.
