A dear friend and I often repeat this to each other as motivation for our own attempts at writing. We have the same complaint... she is Tolkien to my Lewis, if I may phrase us so highly. I am taken by many imaginations while she will dive deeply to the roots of one.

I feel the same way. I'd like to see what Tolkien and Lewis did applied more broadly to other genres of fiction, which is one of the goals of my own writing. Maybe we should start a writers' group for writers with similar interests--kinda like an online Inklings.

Movie was nice somewhat mindless violence. I am debating spending all day tomorrow watching movies - I have this hankering for Shakespeare and musicals - or writing, or tormenting little brothers for fun.

Sigh... I used to be part of a little group that fancied ourselves... not Inklings, but above the mutual admiration societies. Most of them have disappeared into the ether now.

We here at the Hole have a once-a-year NaNoWriMo group; me, Rosie, Corin, Overtaxed, and Rose did it last year. By the way, you'll be getting ping-spammed about that come late October, just to warn you...
