I've posted pieces of writing (stories) but there always seems to be a issue with them. I always wonder how derivative books like Eragon become bestsellers when a lot of people dislike them but everyone keeps telling me that I need to get better just to impress an agent, let alone getting published.

Here's the link. If you like the 1st Chapter, please proceed to the 2nd. Thanks

Are they the equivalent of a ventriloquist's dummy, i.e. just writing down what someone else tells them, embellishing it with a more literary style? Do they retain creative vision in writing an "as told to" type story? If it's not their original idea like a novel, for instance, does that make them more of a journalistic hack? Last question: do they do this for "quick" money while pursuing their own endeavors or are they more limited in their scope and talent?

Chapter I
"Pappy, doesn't the tree look grand this year?" I asked my father.
"Yes sweetie, it does," he replied.
I looked out of the frosty window towards the Midwinter Festival taking place outside. Snow was falling on the already icy roads. My mother was smiling in a rocking chair by the icy window. I sat on the hearth by the blazing fire that my maid had lit. Our festival tree was ablaze with beautiful ribbons, colored glass orbs, and streamers. Several candles were lit around the large parlour.
"Mum, can I open just one?" I cried. I wanted to open my Midwinter presents that were sitting under the tree.
"You may have one. But," she said as I made a move for the tree, "it is not under there. Call Miriam, will you?" I got up and shouted for Miriam out of the door frame. She came running at my call.
"Yes'm?" she asked.
"Bring Jellroa's present please," my mother ordered.
"Right away ma'am," Miriam obeyed. When she came back, she had a squirming bundle in her arms.
"Oh momma, is it a marmoset like I wanted?" I asked, hoping it was.
“You know us oh too well,” was the reply from my dear mother. The little monkey bounded out of Miriam's arms and headed straight for the tree. Before it could reach the beautiful tree, I had picked it up and was giving it some fruit. The little monkey looked at me before accepting my token.

This is a new story I'm working on.

I love Anne Mccaffrey, Robin Hobb, Kristen Britain etc.

I am a bit lost as to what author to indulge myself in next. I prefer the stories set in medieval like surroundings.

Does anyone have some suggestions?

I just finished this play and after reading it I am left with a very unsatisfied feeling. After thinking more about it, I began to wonder what I was supposed to get out of reading it and I really cant think of anything. I was wondering, for those that know of this play, what are you supposed to get out reading this play? Because I am at a lost in trying to figure this out.

Thanks for the help. :]
