RiisingNovels

Greetings!

I'm from Sweden and I am a teacher (in among other things, art, and English). I have, all my life, wanted to write stories and draw and paint pictures for them. In February 2019 I decided to go for it, despite having near to no time for it. I started to write my first long story. I have written almost every day since, and have now finished it. It's long. I'm now working hard on editing it. So please give me feedback on it --> Becoming a Legend: Nightfall

I have decided to try and make it as a writer, to finally live that dream of mine. I've had this dream for over 20 years, and it feels wonderful to finally be working towards that goal.

I mainly write fantasy and horror stories, and that's also what I prefer to read, though I do sometimes read sci-fi and detective stories (but that's rare). I have a plan to write at least one sci-fi story, but I'm not ready for that one yet. 

The stories that I'll post here will be works in progress. But I'm hoping for a lot of feedback so that I can make them into much better stories. I heard that this is supposed to be a good place to get feedback so I'm really hoping for that. 

Bear in mind that I'm not native English, so please do point out if I write anything that sounds odd to English speakers. Like phrasing, sentence build or word order. Anything really. I'm trying to write in British English. But being much exposed to American English in movies and books, I sometimes don't know what's what.
