Cool. I wonder what songs were on that list :scratch: I should be writing essays right now and planning lessons for the coming semester, but I feel more inspired to write other things. And yeah, the internet is a wicked thing for getting distracted. As for the party, I really liked the old fellow, a...

Faramir waited until Al-Jahmîr’s footsteps were lost in the general din outside the tent before slumping forward with his elbows on the low table. With the tension subsiding, he was beginning to feel the anxiety he had successfully managed to keep in check throughout the encounter. This had been ...

Ooh, a deadline. I'm not sure we'll manage 2010 ... ;) Jokes aside, right now RL is keeping me insanely busy. I hope things will improve by the end of the month, when school slows down a bit, I’ve finished my latest commission and done my taxes. However, I've done a bit of writing lately, but it's...

Arabic? Must be difficult, though.

How's AJ's Big Speech coming on? The book I'm reading at the moment makes me want to write something as well ...

Perhaps it was the copy editors putting in all those semicolons ... :scratch: The pdf is great news as it makes quoting from the book and searching for particular information so much easier. Hope she's going to do it for the other books as well. Hope I get commissioned to do the illus for books 4 - ...

“What are you doing here? You must get ready for your fortune telling!” Ranak’s voice, rather breathless again, rang in Faramir’s ears as he was trying to move a little further into the shadows to the side of the pavilion, in order to survey the assembly but remain out of sight himself. “S...

Ooh, yes, almost forgot that one. It hangs in the kitchen now (the cats love it, so even there's no wind, it jingles all the time), because I thought that's where an oliphaunt is the most inconvenient, with all the food standing there. ;) Oh, and I liked the post. So, Éowyn knows? I look forward to...

Thanks a lot. I've just eaten the last of the pirateship-cookies.
Very tasty, and almost all arrived intact (only one of the lions was damaged).

This is an excellent story, LoR. Makes me want to read more about the protagonists and their world, as much history is hinted at. Even though it's short, there's a lot of depth and atmosphere. And it's so delightfully sad and tragic ... Actually, I wish I had read this story two weeks earlier, becau...

Hm, that's what Faramir'd like to know as well ;) Great pics, LoR. Makes me want to do some drawing. Concerning pics, for me, Adûn is that one guy from the movie "Hidalgo", played by Saïd Taghmaoui http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2566166784/nm0846548" target="_blank (he's got a dif...

I have to admit my complete ignorance about these mysterious notebooks. My sketchbook of choice are the Daler-Rowney ones. They come in different sizes and colours (I prefer the black ones) and contain excellent and rather heavy drawing paper (150 gsm). Most other sketchbooks have lighter paper, whi...

(Totally selfless? Hah, right. ;)) Entirely ;) Look forward to the results :D How are we going to proceed, btw? Were you going to post first or me? I have a half-written post I could finish in the next couple of days (and a much longer also half-written post for a scene that's going to take place s...

Happy Birthday, LoR!

Oh, the cookies were great as they were (I'm not so much for mixing fruit with chocolate ...) . Just the right consistency, too. As for writing, I think I'll get some done tonight as well. I should be doing work for school and uni, but can't muster the self-control and motivation for it. Should fini...

Beautiful photos, but I guess they're much nicer like that than having to actually endure the icestorm. Forecast has given warnings of very wintry weather for the next couple of days, yet I doubt it's going to get as bad as this. Even tastier chessboard cookies? :Q Wow! I thought they were just righ...

Happy New Year to you as well! I was very pleased to find a parcel and a post waiting for me upon my return from Vienna yesterday, and since I'd been inspired to write throughout my stay in Austria, I used this morning for putting together a post. Shorter than usual, but I think that's ok because th...

“Come on, come on, you haven't been hired to empty the Lord’s tables,” a hot, puffing Ranak chided the threesome when, after a long day performing in various corners of the extensive gardens, with even more time spent studying the layout of the castle and observing security measures and guests...

Merry Christmas to all!

I wrote the post as far as I could (gonna be off to Vienna for a few days, starting tonight). Since LoR has plans for the party, I'm going to wait to see what she comes up with. I already look forward to that.

“This sounds like a tale of some length,” said Faramir. “We must not stay here, at least not in the corridor. There are some unoccupied rooms nearby where we should be undisturbed.” Azrahil seemed to approve of the suggestion, and together they cautiously passed along the corridor until Fara...
