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!

So that means it's NaNo time...

I got the she-MC to her big shopping trip. Maybe that will motivate me tomorrow. Work has been mentally exhausting this week and my story's crappiness quotient shows it, heh. Maybe this weekend I'll get a bunch done.

So far in this chapter I've had a succesful heist, a short car chase, and an attempted mugging (heroine took down the mugger with her l337 kickboxing skillz) Now I can go do some more angsting since I've got some actual action done.

Don't get me started on that!

Heh. I'm really pretty discouraged about the whole thing. I find it simply flabbergasting how willing so many people are to hand more power and more money to the Soviets.

The anti-freedom side won all of the initiatives, and not just by a little. They won *huge*. We are so, so screwed in this state.

I just blew up a bunch of folks but they were not real characters. In fact the way it is written so far there might have been no one there at the time... hmm need to tweek that.

Dang...the body count in your story (even not including rodents) must be up in the millions by now, no?

So far I only have one character whose death has actually been described in the story, and he actually died before the story began.

The toaster got him. But no one knows that yet...
