| The ruminations on fear are beautifully worded! Ah, once the characters discover they could write themselves a peaceful evening, next they'll write themselves comfortably back home, and then where would our story be! Author Reply: Again, thank you for your encouragement. I've always wanted to be an artist, but I've had to settle for drawing pictures with words. I've never been able to draw or sketch pictures of what I see in my head or with my eyes, so words will have to do. Wouldn't they be thrilled to discover that particular magic! (Somehow it sounds like something you might find in a Twilight Zone episode.) Gandalf might have flown on that Eagle's back from Orthanc to Rivendell. But wait. In the story, doing what he did, he drew off some of the Black Riders, if I'm remembering right. So maybe that wouldn't have been the best possibility. Probably the quickest end to the story would be if Círdan and Elrond had picked Isildur up bodily as soon as he said he was going to keep the Ring, carried him to the Crack of Doom, and thrown him in. But then, as you have so aptly observed, where would our story be? (Don't mind me, I'm in a fey mood tonight after finishing another WIP. Writing the final chapter of anything is a strangely melancholy exercise for me. But then, I suffered a shock when I read, He drew a deep breath. ‘Well, I’m back,’ he said. And the book ended. Just like that. And I wanted it to go on and on because I'd come to love the characters so. Which is probably why I started writing fanfiction. But I'm rambling, which is a sure sign I need to close up the laptop for now.) Thanks so much for reading and pausing to share your thoughts! | |

| How clever of Pippin (and you) to pick up on those conversations in the Prancing Pony. I never thought about that! What a delightful chapter to start my morning. :) Author Reply: I am totally enjoying hobbity conversations - I figure there must have been lots of them along the way. It may be more difficult, once the hobbits have disappeared into Moria... alas, poor Bill! Thanks so much for stopping to leave an encouraging word. So glad I could contribute to your morning. ((hugs)) I hope this finds you well. | |
