I love reading fantasy, in fact I love the whole genre, but I tend to get stuck at the map making stage. I think I prefer making the world to actually writing it. I tend to obsess over ridiculous details.
And you do know that 1000 words is actually quite a lot to write in one day, don't you? When I was writing my dissertation for uni, I had to write 10,000 words which took me over a month to write. If I could have written 1000 a day, I'd have been done in under ten days!
To be fair, I envy your ability to create likeable characters and realistic settings. I find that to be one of the main problem when writing original works. I can do neither. But anyway, good luck with the new story. I hope it comes together. And have fun fleshing out your world. Thats the fun part. :)
