Fantasy
I’ve started a new and original fantasy book. It’s about a boy who’s a poor painter and lives with his mother. One day he finds that his dad was actually a king and since the aforementioned dad had just died, he is now heir to the throne. He finds that he has magical abilities but hasn’t found a magic sword yet.

The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.

Wow! What an innovative voice entering the fantasy genre! Never before has the hero previously been anything like a painter. Your work will clearly explode class boundaries!
Oh, and if anyone else posts/emails that frigging ‘uvnisertiy sdtuy’ I’ll throw something at them. Electronically.

I apologise. At the time of posting I hadn’t realised the extent of the spread of this spelling business.

I’m reading the book, not writing it.
Sorry again about the uni spelling business.

You’re forgiven. It’s always nice to have a new piece of information beaten heavily into one’s skull. I shan’t forget it.
Hmmm. Why would you bother reading a fantasy book that starts like that? It must have awfully good prose I suppose.
