Well ... I couldn't bind that story up with the letters from Tolfalas without having somewhat of a conclusion, now could I?

“Look, mami! Frog!” Elboron announced. His mother shook her head slightly and crouched to be able to see his prize better. “And quite a big one,” she observed. “Azrahil was very kind to catch it for you. Did you tell him thank you?” “No,” the child whispered, still staring at the frog, then followed...

I logged in for the first time in ages to post an "I'm not dead yet" message in There and Back Again, and thought I'd pop in The Turf for a bit. Um... I'm not dead yet, just mostly unemployed and draining my savings account and getting scared. But I did have the most lovely winter ever as ...

I haven't posted because I haven't written anything because I got eaten by hockey season. But it was worth it. Ohhhhh man was it worth it. Thousands of photos taken. Two of my hockey art pieces on the front of the sports page, and once on the main front page, in one of the city newspapers. Made frie...

I came here to say I was going to try to get some writing done over the weekend, but then I remembered much of my Saturday afternoon and evening is going to be spent at a secondhand bookstore followed by meeting up with writer friends for supper. And that means anything I need to get done around the...

Éowyn was glad Miliani was between her and the door, shielding her expression from the other woman. She sat in her dressing gown at her vanity as the maid worked the the tangles out of her hair, and as soon as the girl was done she would send her away, for she wanted to be alone now. The long eveni...

Haha! It doesn't, but perhaps I can find a few swatches to send along as inspiration for his next outfit.

Wow, it's been a long time since I've either watched the books or read the movies. ... Wait. The other way. LOL.

But today I did figure out what Faramir's going to get for his birthday this winter.

Songs on my Southron playlist: Acoustic Africa The Festival in the Desert Acoustic Arabia Israel North African Groove and The Gates of Istanbul from An Ancient Muse . I'm not quite sure where the old guy came from, but he certainly had a lot to say. :D I think Minastir's past might have been fun to ...

I refuse to plan any more parties for him. They're too complicated and involve far too much drama. :neutral: I'll do my best not to go six months between posts again, promise. ;) I've learned I need to not be online when writing, because shiny things on the Internet distract me. I think creating a S...

Éowyn had lost all interest in the cake drizzled with a peppermint syrup by the time the Snake returned to the high table. She studied him anxiously, and though he seemed distracted, he showed no sign of the smug delight he surely would have displayed at having captured his enemy again. She breathe...

It's coming along, though real life manages to interfere far more than I like.
(Though my decision to learn Arabic did nothing to give me more free time. )

AJ's plans will be revealed in AJ's Big Speech, which is coming up in my next post. According to him and a few others Umbar is suffering under oppressors; others may not see things that way. Oh, believe me, the news is going to break that the fleet has arrived in Umbar, and AJ's going to end up doin...

The kitchen, of course! The boys are quite impressed.

Éowyn isn't 100% sure, but she has a strong suspicion. I also look forward to seeing what the stars have in store for our favorite party host.

And the oliphaunt alarm?

Should have said this yesterday after posting, but a happy birthday to Khorazîr.

Éowyn let out a long breath and sank back against her chair as the trio of entertainers took their leave. Their performance had been quite impressive, she had to admit, even before she had recognized the little man who had accompanied Faramir into the orchard. The wink and grin he had given InzilbÃ...

Bleh, writing speeches that kiss up to AJ kinda make me sick. But until then, here are some pictures I stumbled upon [best firefox extension ever!] last night. Happy Adun! Grumpy Adun, but pretty horses. Happy Adun, pretty horse. She really is adorable. Azrahil's old horse? Might be too fancy. Flyin...

[For those of you waiting on a Checkmate post, it's coming, but the muses refused to let me get much farther on it until I got this out of my system. Oh oh, see the aside thread for hot horses and Adunkahor pics!] The lavish feast at the rug merchant's riverside villa had been intended to impress th...

I'm going to post first. This evening (unless I fall asleep -- had to be at work at 4:30 this morning) and Sunday are scheduled for post-writing sessions. Looking forward to the meeting of unhappy parties. ;) Birthday was pretty good. Wasn't scheduled to work, so I got to sleep in and watch movies. ...
