They sure do! Don't think I have anythig suitable at the mo but I might have a few ideas....
|
Em_J
|
I have nothing, but for $100 it's worth writing something!
|
April_Rose
|
Yeah, definitely worth a try!
|

I've never written fantasy, I just can't get my head around it  $100 would be nice though...
|
April_Rose
|
It's a great motivator....
|
Em_J
|
I'm gonna have a go now I've got that teenage story out the way I reckon!
|
April_Rose
|
I don't normally do heroic fantasy, but I might give it a try....
|
Em_J
|
My book's heroic fantasy I guess? So technically, I should be able to do this. 
|
April_Rose
|
Yep, Sorrel's the hero(ine)... I'd say you'll be good at it! The guidelines are funny!
|
Em_J
|
Yeah they just confused me.

I don't know much about horses and stuff, but when I don't know much about it I'd tend to be non specific.
|
redwinegoblin
|
Know your horses?! That counts me out...
|
Em_J
|
I know bugger all about horses! Still write about them though.
|
redwinegoblin
|
I only know that there's big ones and little ones, and those ones that look like they're wearing legwarmers are called Shirehorses.
|

|
I was into horses wen I was about 10....and have forgotten all I knew then! Oh well, wikipedia is my friend....
|
Em_J
|
I think they only mean know your horses if you actually plan to write about horses. Which I don't!
|
April_Rose
|
True! I might have a character on a horse but as long as I don't say it's one type and describe another completely different type it should be fine...
|
Em_J
|
I've got a mate who's really into horses and for one of my books I had to ask her if ponies could run as fast as horses!
|
redwinegoblin
|
See, i'd have gone with ponies being faster because they're not so heavy.... am I right?!
|
Em_J
|
Apparently it depends on the size of the pony. A shetland isn't going to be able to run as fast as a whacking gurt stallion.
|
redwinegoblin
|
Nah, well shetlands are pointless little things anyway!
|
Em_J
|
Cute though!
|
April_Rose
|
I like shetlands!
