| This is a wonderful story. Aragorn's judgement made me squirm, for I am often guilty of pride myself. I hope you update soon. Author Reply: So am I! But that sin is closely linked with perfectionism too, which can be very depressing. Always wanting to be perfect, but never making it... | |

| At last! New chapters are up. I'm so glad. I really like this story. I feel so sorry for Frodo, but Aragorn is right. A lot of Frodo's overwhelming grief and guilt come from pride. I look forward to reading more of this great story. Author Reply: Thank you! Glad you liked the judgement. Perhaps it is time for Frodo also to excercise the quality of mercy... towards himself. | |

| This was wonderful - I like that Aragorn saw his pride and gently pointed it out to him. Wow. Wonderful. His true crime has been pointed out and he can move past it - and it was done so lovingly, so kindly. Author Reply: I'm not sure whether the hobbits (especially Sam) felt that Aragorn was being particularly gentle! But I think he was, and I'm glad you picked up on that. Thanks! | |

| Another fabulous chapter. The fact that Aragorn finds Frodo guilty of pride surprises Frodo because he is not ready for it. He has not claimed it for himself. So he really does feel the judgment. I am struck again by how you convey feelings and angst through actions and words. Just great. Author Reply: He certainly feels it! Of all the things Aragorn could have said, that was the thing Frodo least expected... "I am struck again by how you convey feelings and angst through actions and words." Thank you! I try hard to "show", and not "tell." Thank you for telling me that I do just that. | |
