Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
A new road or a secret gate...
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

I also want to see The Incredibles, though.

I want to see The Incredibles too. But I'm thinking this is the first year in I don't know how many there's no "must" see movie for me...unless I'm missing something...
No LOTR, no Harry Potter, no Star Trek.
Well, there's Sponge Bob...

Yes, but in your case, wouldn't we be talking about 37 pieces of horse poo?

I'm bad at romance, too, and I have to handle two in upcoming chapters - flashback to 'young love' and present day... I dunno, I don't go for "love at first sight" at all unless, oh, there's magic involved or something. In fact my current notion of romantic is - you know in My Fair Lady when Higgins realizes how he's fallen in love with Eliza, and he says - "I've grown accustomed to her face"? That, to me, is romantic. The idea that someone has become so important to you, so much a part of your life, that you can't imagine being without that person.
As to word count - I can manage 1000 an hour if I'm distracted (say, surfing FR every ten minutes). Closer to 2k if I've got the right music and no interruptions.

I guess your Luke is too young for "A Series of Unfortuntate Events" but those books entertain me so much. My whole family, actually. And I told my mother that on no account are they to go without me.
Keep your nasty SpongeBob, precious. Give me well-animated Pixar films, yes, yes.

I just thought it'd be simpler to write the less complicated sort.
Fortunately or unfortunately, my story thought better of it, and is trying to break it to my character that love isn't something you necessarily find where or when or how you'd expect it.
And it's hard to write!

No, I wouldn't think so. And Jr probably doesn't want to go? Heh... I never thought I'd miss going to kids' movies, but somehow there haven't been many action flicks that seem worth seeing. I find myself looking forward to cartoons and children's fantasies.

Perhaps you should try writing something else for just a while? Maybe sneak up on the romance.
I'm going to post more of mine soon and I hope you'll share, too.

Jr. may actually see it. But he's reached that point where he doesn't want to go with me...

Hmmm... sounds like you need to tell everyone you're going to some action flick and then just sneak into the other showing...
I know, it just feels weird to go to kids' movies without kids in tow! And half the fun is watching someone else enjoy the show, anyway.

I don't mind seeing a kid's movie by myself or with the wife. Okay, maybe not Bob the Builder...
grrrr...Online rehearsal schedule hasn't been updated for tonite. Still says "Act II TBA." So I don't know if I have to be there or not. (it's the not knowing that bothers me)

I'd like to see more of yours!
As for mine...I'm running out of things for her to do outside of the romance part of the story. *sigh*
This is why I worry about the next 25k a LOT.
