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! |

It makes sense to me, but then I have to go through the same process! Lol...
I'm glad he'll have some time to spend with you guys!

My characters do a lot of talking. And yelling. Very little action. We'll be at 70k before the Great Big Bad Thing that is the hinge of my story occurs, and then it'll take at least 50k to write out of that to the ending. That will make it quite novel-lengthed...

Dueling drumsticks? Fistfight over nice molasses cookies?

yeah! Why not?
The Black Bottom Cake is gone. *sigh*
To: JenB
Mine do a lot of worrying. Or Katy does. The others...we dunno, 'cause it isn't from their viewpoint.
I should be at 60k within the next two days. And I'd hoped to wrap it up somewhere near there, but unless I really push it, it'll be more like 65k, I'm thinking. I hope. If it goes much longer than that, I'll REALLY need to cut stuff, plus I won't finish in time.
I have no clue what I'm doing with punctuation a lot of the time. I should review my old textbooks, I guess.

The one punctuation tic you seem to have is sometimes you place the punctuation outside of the quotes:
"Let's go", he said. - Should be
"Let's go," he said.

I thought it was "Damn the torpedos, full speed ahead"?
And who said it anyway?

I think I'm overcoming that one...did it a lot a few years ago and got repeatedly slapped on the hand for it (figuratively, that is).
Now...should that period be after the )?
Heh...I guess this is why God invented editors. Or inspired someone to, anyway. ;-)

Like I say, it's still possible for him to finish in May...he is going to speak to his advisor after he finishes this class...We'll know more then.
This has been one dreadful semester, though...just this one class. He stood in the kitchen with me this morning before church and said "This is the hardest class I've ever taken."
Looks like he's gonna get a B in it...that's just fine! It's the nicest B he's ever got, I'm sure!

Yeah, you're right...guy named Farragut said it that way. I never knew this Farragut guy. I do, however, have an aquaintence with Mr. Cree. I'll quote it his way! LOL!!!

A good "B", a fixed oven, and a car that runs...what else do ya need? :)
To: RosieCotton
Now...should that period be after the )? don't quote me - but I believe that depends. If you end the sentence inside the (), put the period in there. If it's just a fragment, the period can go outside....
Editors are goooood...

Thank you!
I was think WW1, I guess I hadn't realized torpedoes were invented so early.
