My old writing (definitely not melodramatic)

When I was thirteen, I wrote my first Lord of the Rings fanfiction. It was called Romenna: A Tale of Middle-earth, and it was a Tenth Walker story (where an original character joins the Fellowship). I just rediscovered this *ahem* incredibly well-written story and I will share the ending with you in a couple minutes.

He closed his eyes and tookContinueContinue reading “Excerpts from Seascape #5: The Sea Fairy”

One thing I created was a star chart because at the time I was into astronomy, and since stars are so important to the story (and because astronomy is cool), I thought it would be fun to make a star chart.ContinueContinue reading “The stars of Militer”
