The Hobbit Hole XXXI - Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!

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!

We ought to have a completely different list from last year! Otherwise it's not a challenge...

We ought to have a completely different list from last year!

My thoughts perzackly.

Hair has a recurring role in my writings, but I'm just not willing to go with the other list again.

Sincerely.

Well, I always have a naked person at the beginning of my NaNo novels ... it's a tradition now.

<snicker> I should challenge y'all to work a naked person into your first chapter.

Winmag, you've done wonderful work! My only regret is that I didn't have more to give you when you needed it.

You should be proud of yourself ... we're proud to know you!

There's a naked person in the first chapter of the story I've been working on before NaNo...does that count?

It's more of a surgical naked than anything very exciting.

Nekkid is nekkid.

My naked people aren't usually doing anything exciting at first --- walking from a pool to their chambers, lying on the side of the road, falling from the sky. The current naked guy may just be walking along, wearing clothes, a victim of a naughty computer program.

Now, later on in the novel, my characters get very "exciting!" <laughing!>

I would think that falling from the sky would qualify as "exciting".

But maybe that's just me...

My only regret is that I didn't have more to give you when you needed it.

I see it now as moving on to another phase of troop support. This helmet issue is far more important than our little knife "business". There's even a Michigan chapter of Operation Helmet. I'll save one of the upgraded helmets for them for "show and tell" purposes.

And I'll still be dispensing my product reviews and gadget wisdom, such as it is, at the Hobbit Hole site.

I enjoy your product reviews very much, Winmag ... keep them coming, please!

They're great writing ... the fact that you really enjoy handling the devices shines through in your prose.
