Plot bunnies. Nuzgul. DUCK!!

EDIT. I'm an idiot. Have fixed this post.

I have two lingering Ardaverse stories that I'm working on. I feel as though I've abandoned Middle-Earth for Harry Potterdom, and then, on around the fiftieth time I've listened to "Steer by the Stars" on [no surprise] one of Jen's compilation CDs, I realized that there's a story there, inspired by it. From either Tar-Meneldur's son's POV (Aldarion), or his daughter-in-law Erendis, the focus of the first part of 'Celestial Quartet' that I wrote last fall. All Tolkien Unfinished Tales, all the way. Bound to be bleak, as he (the son) keeps leaving Numenor to go sailing to M-E, but if anyone were to sail by the stars, and it not be King Elentirmo, it would be his Aldarion who leaves his very resentful wife behind. Her choice, though, as he keeps inviting her along, and she keeps resisting.

*intrigued*

Ugh. Off to write.

BTW, the lovely writer llembas, used to go by palarran, the ship built by Aldarion.

Really off to write now.

Instead had long, drawn-out conversation with Mr. Thev about how my life is a mess. No writing. Took today off.

Dedicated to Jen. Who is fabulous.

(and she still is)

*hugs then stares enthralled at all the wonderfully geeky comments about Aldarion*

Hope your day off was spent imagining all possible wonderful futures (of which I know you're going to have one, the trouble is deciding which future to pick) and not spent feeling depressed. There must be something in the air this year that's making everyone re-evaluate their lives. Or is it just a horrible stage that starts in the late twenties and lasts through the 30s? ;)

So it's not just me....

Hang in there, Thevina. At least you still have your writing. Mine's on hiatus while I deal with all this reevaluation stuff. *facepalm*

Oh. *consoles* I had thought that the story ideas would eventually slow, and they sortof have, but no, not really. :P Thank you for your thoughts. :D

Well, it was a wonderful day but I didn't spend much of any energy thinking about the future. Paralysis sets in, of "well, where do I start?" and "can I really just pick up and spend two to three weeks on the Isle of Man?" which is what I did yesterday when I went for a run.

Or is it just a horrible stage that starts in the late twenties and lasts through the 30s?

Perhaps so. Some people seem to know what they want to do, and then there's me, who continually flounders. You'd think that for somebody like me who is willing to spend such an inordinate amount of time writing, that I'd take some of that time to actually look at different programs, jobs, etc. Maybe I'll allot an hour or two to do that on Friday, and then I'll feel I've accomplished something. Besides just writing fanfiction. There's also that recent article on visiting the Isle of Man that was in the NY Times recently. I can see when their off season starts. ;)
