I really enjoyed it because it provides a history of how everything came to be. References are made in both the book and the movies regarding the ancient days of ME. What is a Balrog and who is Morgoth? It helps to answers these questions. Tolkien was a huge fan of Norse mythology. I found his...

I buy it, and then usually lend it to people after I have finished reading it. I guess I become the library at that point!

This is a great idea. Have the details been settled yet?

Welcome Lars. Looking forward to your postings!

Hi Kate. Looking forward to reading more posts from you!

It's really great to hear how everyone approaches this situation. My character is very important to my story and I don't necessarily want to change him, but he is the one of the characters that "I love to hate" so to speak. However, in the realm of writing this character.....well, he and I butt...

Giddeon Braddock is a character I created several years ago. We have a "love hate" relationship meaning that Giddeon loves himself and I hate him (strong statement I know). I sigh when I know it's time to work on a "Giddeon file" because I know it will be difficult for me to get anywhere with...
