You're not too old for this.
I hope not at least...I don't plan on leaving Mibba anytime soon.
Sorry for the random comment...I've seen you a lot of forums and decided to check your profile out lol.
the only really stupid thing about it was completely having no plan, i ended up spending all my money way to quickly and ha a pretty rough time for a while after that.
if you like tad williams you should read my story, he is one of my influences...
actually you should also pick up the first book of "tales of the malazan book of the fallen" by Steven Erikson, he is imo the best fantasy writer of all time, bar none.
