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!

Actually, you gave me the idea for my heroine's previous job in the Marines. Thanks!

I hope I can pull it together into a real novel ...

I can see you now, Corin, working out with the personal trainer, the iPod strapped to your upper arm ...

It'd be you!

You could do a story about shape-shifting in a hurricane.

Maybe that's the traumatic event where she discovers she is a shape-shifter. She's outside in a hurricane, holding on to her fence, and she suddenly becomes a Mourning Dove. This is not really a good thing, as she soon loses grasp of the fence and ends up just hunkering down in a Mango tree.

Hmmm...maybe it wouldn't be so painful when he yells at me about the french fries...

You know, the old rule of thumb for romance novels is, "Begin the novel on the worst day of the heroine's life."

"I got my first inkling of my true nature when I ..."

What if she shapeshifts at really random and awkward times? See... her identical twin is a shapeshifter too... and whenever one of them becomes something... so does the other one... nomatter what is happening.

She had just pushed open the door to the ladies room when she could feel the shift starting... "Oh, no... not now..." But it was too late.

Huh. And someone here said they couldn't put a plot together. :-/

But that would be very funny!

Odo would have.

Never liked him, not really...though if we had met on the Promenade Deck, I would have been civil...unless he started to look like something with four slots that can brown bagels...
