| (Just HOW many stories are you writing at the moment? How do you keep track of them all?) Good thing that they managed to get the children out of the visit to Jessamine - it doesn't sound like much fun. I'm looking forward to some happy Ferdi and unpersecuted Rosemary. Author Reply: Millions. Billions. Ok, it only seems like that many. I have quite a sheaf of stories that are merely story summaries, another small group of outlined stories, and several in the middle of writing. Actually, "Glisters" is written to the end, with merely the details of Merry's operation to be added. Most of the new story ("Greening of the Year") is written as well, for it is short and to-the-point. Not a lot of character development, but hopefully interesting and full of action. "Thain" is very difficult writing and I'm not enjoying the current chapter (Pippin's birthday), which is why I dredged up Rosemary's story that has been languishing nearly two months. It's much more fun, at the moment! And "Greening" is sheer stress-relief. Very little thought went into that story, I fear... but it was interesting to write. | |

| Umm, the first chapter says this takes place in 1388, but the second says Fatty Bolger is eleven years old. He should have been eight in 1388. And how old is Rosemary, exactly? I think her age is mentioned somewhere in "Pearl", but can't remember where. Author Reply: You're right about the age--I was looking at the wrong chart, that had a different birthdate for Freddy (1377, which JRRT changed on a later genealogy to 1380, I think). I also got "Gloriana" wrong, so her name will be changed just as soon as I get time to incorporate all my editor-friend's comments! I think Rosemary's about five years older than Ferdibrand. It's another thing I need to look up (in Pearl, probably, as she's an OC!) as it's not in my notes. Thanks for the catch! Author Reply: Yes, Rosemary is five years older than Ferdi. | |

| Ugh, Gloriana sounds hideously dull. Loved the rest of the family joking without her beware of it! Looking forward to the visit to Whittacres. Hopefully you'll get to it soon (hint). Author Reply: Whittacres is coming soon, but first we have to have the first time Halley meets the Tooks... | |
