I had a dream a giant flaming meteor had hurtled into earth and like half the buildings in New York were going down and we were all like "yep, that's 2020". Fun fact (that may or may not come in useful when writing): you can hear a car knocking over a street lamp from 1.5 … Continue reading We Found Inspiration in a Weird Place
Writing Struggles with J.R.R Tolkien
I was organizing my bookshelf last Saturday afternoon, as one does on Saturday afternoons. I picked up a book (as one does when organizing a bookshelf, completely abandoning the project originally started.) It was Humphrey Carpenter's Tolkien, a lovely '77 edition.
