| Do you know what fascinates me most? You have a unique way to show a development here... from a lazy teen with nearly no imagination at all to someone who slowly learns to see the things around him and to write them down in images that become more vivid with each new entry.Marvelous, Lin. Author Reply: O thank you! You've picked up, exactly, what I've been trying to do, and hoping I wasn't tromping about on oliphaunt feet while I was about it. | |

| I find I much like Fortinbras the First. Fine lad he is, fine lad! Author Reply: I do like Fortinbras. He's got room to grow, but you can see the potential there. | |

| Duh! 'Fool of a Harrowcat!' Shame on me *picture flaming red cheeks and 'stupid hat'. Cancel my last review and re-set for a completely different Hobbit! My only excuse is that it is very late and I ought to be in bed! Sorry Lindelea but I am enjoying the writings really! Author Reply: I am glad you're enjoying the writings, and doubly glad you're taking time to comment though you ought to be in bed. (Me too. Ought to have slept another hour this a.m., that is, instead of getting up early.) | |

| I am glad that Bilbo never gets done writing. Just think of all that wonderful poetry we would be missing! And who else would have encouraged Frodo to write. And then how would we have heard about the Shire Folk's contribution to the War of the Ring. It doesn't bear thinking about! Yes, I know that I am dotty but I do prefer ME to the stuff I learned in school. But then again LOTR was compulsory reading in our school because my old headmaster used to work in the publishing house that took on the Master's epic! How is that for a sort of claim to fame!!! Author Reply: I must be dotty too, for I prefer ME to the stuff I learned in school. LOTR was compulsory reading? I wish! (instead we had such "gems" as "Animal Farm" and "Lord of the Flies". Yuck.) | |

| That is just sooo typical. Tell him he must and he'll fight it all the way. Tell him he mustn't and he'll fight that too. (Reverse psychology.) The working their lily-white hands in the fields provides an anxious echo of times to come. And this time we know it was bad. So much pleasure from a short journal entry! Author Reply: Thanks! It is quite a challenge, to tell everything that seems necessary, from the viewpoint of a young writer who is all too probably excluded from the "big picture". | |

| Young Fortinbras is a contrary little Took, isn't he? As long as his grandfather told him to write, he griped and complained about it. Now that his grandfather tells him he *doesn't* have to write, he complains about that! *snerk* I've known kids just like that. Reverse psychology always worked on them as long as you didn't do it often enough fo them to catch on. Of course the adults know what they are preparing for, but the young ones haven't a clue... Author Reply: Am raising some contrary little Tooks, as a matter of fact. Of course, now that Grandfa isn't looking over the contrary little Took's shoulder, so to speak, the diary entries just might get more interesting and informative. You never know. Thanks! | |

| Ha! That'll teach you! I won't stop now! What do you mean, that's what you were planning on me doing? What do you mean, manipulation? Humph. Codswollop! I love Fortinbras - great chapter (and story/diary/you know what I mean). Rock on! Chears, Silvae Author Reply: Hmmm. And don't you suppose Fortinbras is picking up pointers for when, someday, he becomes Thain? Thanks! | |
