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!

There's a NaNo kickoff party downtown this evening - seven or so until midnight.

I'm thinkin' I'm not going.

I'm such a party pooper this year.

Oh well...

Uh, yeah, no kidding. It sure took some restraint there and me not feeling like getting banned.

Boker tov! It's 6:30 in the morning here, so as I am on my way out the door, I wanted to say B'hatzlacha (good luck) to all you NaNo writers. Please keep me informed of your progress throughout the month! It sounds like an interesting challenge...

I know this may be a dumb question (so forgive it if it is) but are you all married?

Yup, we certainly are! Married for five years and counting, although we've been together for much longer than that.

And incidentally, welcome to the Hobbit Hole! :-)

Thank you, it's great to be here, but now I must run...the bus is coming and if I miss it, I will have to wait another 30 minutes to catch the next one! Happy writing to all the NaNo writers!

Yawn... as soon as I am caffeinated.... and the cinnamon rolls are done. Got my Word doc all set up and ready to go.

Talon's right, I am a semicolonoholic; and furthermore, I like them.
