*cough* Because book-canon-anal me didn't know whether or not there were shovels in use. I'm an idiot. I wanted her to use a shovel. A trowel would take forever. Urg. I suspect if Bilbo can have a clock and this being the end of the Third Age and all, surely shovels are in use. It will be changed shortly, and with the author's gratitude.
*morbid, but real*
I had hoped for that. I didn't want it to be purple and over the top, but there would have been a lot of death going on, and you know how I am about giving voice to the voiceless.
Do you have any of the others written yet?
Only in my head. I've been mulling over Haldir, standing sentry in the rain, hours before the battles that will rage in Lothlorien. And the last one, in which Denethor will be contemplating the pyre, and put his signet ring of the Stewards in Faramir's pocket, thereby allowing it to exist into the Fourth Age. The others are stewing in my head, a very dangerous place to be. ;)
