Another Moment of your Time  by Larner 3 Review(s)

Very good story.

I really don't like the Diggles. I hope her will is so screwed up that no one will honor it. Love Isumbard and his gentle way of dealing with Frodo but his authority in handling the situation.

I love your character development and your strong plots. Yor are definitely one of the authors I admire most.

Author Reply: In today's atmosphere we see too many people who are convinced they know better than everyone else, who are so certain their own beliefs on how the world works are right that they are willing to push their own idea of reality on everyone else as Alyssum Diggle seeks to do here. How would someone with Frodo's level of PTSD find himself reacting to one of these fuzzy-headed ideologues when they are running their madness especially down his throat?

Am so glad you like my character development. I love investigating different personalities and how they interact. Certainly I love seeing how Frodo deals with different individuals.

Thanks so for your response. It helps inspire me to keep writing.

It eases my heart (and yours, I know) that Frodo continues to "find friends upon your way when you least look for it", as Elrond foretold. Dear Bard. :)

Author Reply: I think it was Gildor Inglorion who foretold that Frodo should meet friends in unexpected places and by unexpected means rather than Elrond, but I certainly take your meaning. Isumbard finds he is drawn to seek to protect the one Hobbit he'd long thought of as his chief rival. I doubt he'll fully understand Frodo's reactions to the Diggles until he reads the Red Book and discusses things with the three remaining Travellers, but at least he's accepting that Frodo has reasons to leave the room as he does, and even nearly collapse in front of his dad's sideboard.

I find I appreciate Bard more the more often he walks into my writing.
