The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

I knew Sir Ian wanted to do it, but hadn't heard about Sean Astin!

Or maybe I heard wrong. Hair keeps up with TORN. Maybe she knows.

I think she's unpacking her truck...

I purposefully avoid the spoiler thread, so I miss a lot of news. :)

I think Hair went to bed. I'd better get ready to hit the sack myself.

G'nite everyone!

Sean Astin said at that live appearance I went to that he would like to direct it, with Weta, and that he and Ian McKellan were in cahoots snickering about that idea. New Line has right of first refusal.

Back from Amazing Race. It was pretty cool. I am all done feeling productive and shall now mellow into a nice blue funk. Maybe I will work on squashing my muse.

Interestingly I have become inspired lately, which is giving me some ideas about my muse (she's either fed by too many kids novels or the friend I spent an hour with tonight is secretly my muse)

Or I can only write when I'm depressed. Which would really suck.

Good afternoon freedumb...

We know some things about it, most of the big surprises are on the Return of the King Spoilers thread (ongoing) that those of us who want to know the secrets keep up with.... there are pics, hints and now even a couple video clips there. Let me know from there if you would like to be included on the ping list for that. Whenever there is news, I post it to that thread.

I want carbohydrates!

I had some of that fabulous penne pasta with bacon cheese alfredo sauce for dinner.

Thanks for the offer.

The ping list isn't for me yet -- I am still 'sploring your realm. But I bet I'm right about Book of Lost Tales ;)

Ooooookayyyy! - Take such friends as you can trust. Stay off the road, travel only by day. The enemy has many spies in his service!

Lots of mad writers like that... end up living alone up by remote lakes.

Just finished a dinner of chicken enchiladas with sour cream, together with rice and beans on the side... mmmm...

I missed that about Sean Astin... it would be interesting to see if he could do a good job as director on The Hobbit.

Good evening!

There's a night crew present, but not for long apparently...

I don't like lakes.

Oh well, writing has made me happier tonight, so I guess I won't write anything more. I think the real problem is my enviroment, I just can't write sitting at this desk and listening to the house noises.

Had a long chat with my friend, catching up. Weird how much we have in common. I'd invite her to the Hole sometime, as she's a good Tolkien fan, but she's also English and the Dwarves would freak her out.
