... a really great article I found in the November 2001 issue of The Writer magazine called "10 Secrets to Writing Fantasy." They reference dozens of authors, mostly Tolkien and J.K. Rowling, and have two excellent interviews with Peter S. Beagle and Ursula K. LeGuin (Tehanu should be happy about that). Both of them mention Tolkien, which I found interesting. I found the magazine at the library, so people should be able to get access to it. I recommend it!

Thanks Nywoe!
