Writing has been my passion for my whole life.
As i've studied latin, greek and other languages, I have a comprehensive knowledge on the classics, which are the basis of all the modern and contemprorary novels and ghost writings.
I can finish a 10000 words new eBook in less than a week, with all the knowledge accumulated I don't need much data gathering. However, if you are asking for a structured and profound, not just sentimental work, I would like to hear your exact expectations and compose a specific plan for the work; this can take another week and some more days writing, 3 weeks in total more or less.
I don't like to write spontaneously, I find it too easy, I like to plan and work professionally, but everything depends on your will.
My influences start in Homer's Odyssey and end in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, to mention two important works in world literature.
Great experience in research academic writing also.
