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!

Hehehe....what if all of us got our 2005 NaNo projects published...and they became bestsellers. Everybody would be naming their kids "Guido." The Guido Generation.

I need to update my outline 'cause I'm working in some new plot twists.

My characters want to go off the outline. How inconsiderate!

I've got some showing up that aren't even ~in~ my outline.

I need to map them all out and show how they're related. Yesterday a casual high school acquaintance (and Guido's daughter) became a key player in the plot.

Who knew?

I know... They really were a very exciting and fun time. One that I don't imagine will be repeated.

I've never read Narnia... So though we'll undoubtedly go see it, it's ~not~ the same. And I'm not sure I'd want it to be. I mean... we'd have to move from our hobbit hole into a wardrobe closet.

You'll never get all the elves back in a closet.

I suspect the Narnia movie(s) will spark a whole new series of threads and relationships (there's already a ping list). But it won't be the same. And it won't be as comfortable as hour Hobbit Hole.

Without reading too much into it. What happened here is an interesting social phenomenon. I wouldn't want to try to repeat it, and I know we can't replace it.

Sheesh! I gotta get this nanowrimo funeral over with...
