The Hobbit Hole XXV - Fare you well! Fare you well!
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 10/15/2005 7:13:08 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Fare you well! Fare you well!

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 made a lot of progress on my plot this weekend. The middle parts are the toughest. Getting the ending to line up with the beginning is not my strength.

My mother was the one who sent it me. She told me it got her so unawares that she almost peed in her pants. LOL.

I have the beginning plotted and vague ideas about the middle ("And then they go after the bad guys, up the Amazon River. There are definitely piranhas. Maybe snakes").

I'm officially Winging It.

...that's the plan...go home, take a little nap, over to Thelma Lou's for some TV. Yep, that's what I'll do....home, a little nap, then over to Thelma Lou's for TV. Think that's what I'll do...

Well, I have a plot, I think. Got the characters, got their names, got the place, got the steps of the scam and the romance down, I think.

If this works, I will be bringing off a modern Marriage of Convenience!

Great! Is that anything like an arranged marriage? Those are fun.

My two characters might kiss... but only right before the world ends.

Mine won't. There will be no resolution of luuurve-type issues. Only lots of shooting. And piranhas. And adventure stuff.

My NaNo resolution: "I will write a better book than Whats-his-name, Mr. 'Pow! The Fist Hit My Head'."

That would be Matthew Reilley. His book had Nazis, guns, an old manuscript, and giant panthers in addition to all the *pow!*s and *splat!*s

Maybe you could have giant mutant piranahs.. semi-sentient piranahs that hold grudges like Jaws 15.

I'm looking foward to her pictures and videos, and for her full report.

Me too - that ought to be interesting!

Rosie - wow! Y'all are rarin' to go! Im gonna bail again...I know I promised, but I am writing...just not anything worthy of a NaNoWriMo...between struggling with that and homeschooling, Im not sure I have a brain left...as if I ever had one...

can't wait to see what y'all come up with though...

Kinda. A Marriage Of Convenience means they're *not* getting married for love. In this case, it's to protect a child.

Traditional Marriages Of Convenience always have the couples agreeing to be chaste. At some point, this promise of virtue goes right out the window, and brings in a whole set of other issues. Fun!

I've got all those in my book! The Nazis are dead though. Dead Nazis on a wrecked U-boat in the Amazon.
