| Yes, every setting out seems filled with a mixture of emotions and never with unmitigated joy or anticipation. But then such is life for us all. Great Misty. And Happy Christmas to you too. Author Reply: True. I think that any new journey involves a mix of emotions, and certainly those feelings would be stronger in Frodo's various journeys. I'm glad you enjoyed this. Thank you for the review. | |

| I liked these thoughts--they do all seem very much like what would have been on his mind at the various points in time. But most of all, I like the hopefulness of the last one. So often his departure is seen as so horribly sad--but it *was* a new beginning for him, and I am glad you show that aspect of it. Author Reply: I wanted to end this on an uplifting note, and I do think that part of Frodo must have been looking forward to seeing Valinor, even if it was a small part. I did not want this to be a sad ending, though there were certainly sad aspects to it. Thank you. | |

| Yes, we've come full circle, and the next adventure is begun. Author Reply: Yes, exactly. It was very sad when Frodo left Arda and all his friends, but he did have a new adventure ahead to look forward to. | |

| These are wonderful glimpses into Frodo's heart and thoughts, Misty. He is quiet and thoughtful, resolute and hopeful, but most of all practical and strong of spirit. BTW, what *are* the Middle-earth Express Prompts? Is that a community or challenge group? Author Reply: Thanks, I certainly did my best to delve into his thoughts and determine what he might have been feeling at these certain points in the quest. The Middle-earth Express Prompts originate on the Aragorn Angst Yahoo group. A word is posted to the list each week, and the authors are encouraged to write anything in the world of Middle-earth that the word brings to mind. There is supposed to be a 500 word maximum, but I have a lot of trouble with that part of it. ;-) I'm glad you're enjoying my prompt stories. | |
