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!

Er, I mean good morning everyone. Trying to crank out a few lines here before work. My councilman is standing in a crowd of prison inmates and someone is about to recognize him.

Good morning! Halfway to Friday! Wheee!

TDJ - my councilman was assassinated yesterday. Bummer. But I figured it was a good way to ratchet up tensions and start a war.

Haven't posted an excerpt yet because I haven't decided which portion is non-crummy enough to post. *sigh* I'm focusing on the 'crappy' part of the whole 'crappy novel' thing.

Hmmm... there are folks on the Nano boards with over 10K written already. They're either 1) scary fast writers, 2) cheatin', or 3) have no jobs.

Why bother with Nano if you can do the whole thing in a week and a half? Seems like there is less of a point then.
I have already written more novel than I have in the past 4 years, combined.

I'm struggling with my ego and the fact I haven't purposefully written creatively in over 10 years - at least not with any intent to finish.

Go Rose!

Good morning all. Jedis and I had a great time at the homeschool gun safety/fishing safety field trip. Matthew caught the biggest fish, a bass...the kind with the really big mouths, you know...and got three out of four bulls-eyes with a BB gun.

When I get the pictures, I'll show you the bass.

Is it getting easier? I got a little more done last night before bed so I can wait until lunch to start.

My creative muse demands cat food every few minutes.

It might be getting little easier. Too early to tell really. Not that it has been as hard as I thought it might.

Morning!

Stayed up too late again last night, but I got through 2 more chapters of ELDEST. Man, that is a great book! Makes my NaNo look even crappier compared to it. :-/

Gots another training today at 1pm. ~sigh~ Will it ever end?

Rose - prayers up for the interview! And I read your excerpt yesterday. Loved the clincher phrase at the end of it. Can't wait to read the rest.

LF - speaking of excerpts...c'mon girl, post sumthin'!

2J - waiting for pics of Matthew's bass. :-D

Ramius - that was good, hon. Sign up and go for it!
