Hm. It's an interesting thought, but of course I *can* not write it if I so decide. Still, it may bother me that I've never tried...

I think that once you sit down and make the start you will find that either the process "grabs you" and won't let go, and you can join the rest of us that write because it is compulsive. Or, you will get it out of your system and not decide that it's not for you.

Maybe this is the best thing to do.
I've not even started, but I feel as if I'm "padding" the story already, just to make it big enough to fill a (very) small book of, lets say, 200 pages, just so I can use the end I've already thought up. It feels the wrong way around, but maybe it's good to have a goal to work toward. The "lead-up" would be about 80% of the first part/book, so I think it's rather necessary to write :P
It's a bit strange just to sit at the computer and make stuff up, knowing that in the end, it'll be "just" another fantasy story. Or more accurately, it'll consist two or three smaller stories, each in their own book forming a duology or trilogy, just because I want the ending to be the actual end of the book itself. (I hate omnibusses. Yeah, I'm weird.)
