I met a lot of things on the way that astonished me. Tom Bombadil I knew already; but I had never been to Bree. Strider sitting in the corner at the inn was a shock, and I had no more idea who he was than had Frodo. The Mines of Moria had been a mere name; and of LothlΓ³rien no word had reached my mortal ears till I came there. Far away I knew there were the Horse-lords on the confines of an ancient Kingdom of Men, but Fangorn Forest was an unforeseen adventure. I had never heard of the House of Eorl nor of the Stewards of Gondor. Most disquieting of all, Saruman had never been revealed to me, and I was as mystified as Frodo at Gandalf's failure to appear on September 22.

I have this conversation with my husband a lot bc he’s a dedicated outliner and I like to discover the story (occasionally I’ll map out some beats, but first draft is largely exploratory).

Glad to see I’m in good company. I’ll need to gloat about this to
him later πŸ™ƒ

My daughter (5) couldn’t go with her first choice of β€œdemon hunter” for Career Day at school and had to begrudgingly go with her second choice of β€œTeacher.”

Another valuable lesson from Career Day: sometimes you have to settle in the moment, but it’s ok to keep the dream alive.

My 5yr old loves the first Incredibles movie and we’ve been watching it a lot. I used to laugh at the cartoonishly evil insurance company executive, but as I’ve aged, I can’t help but think this is the most accurate representation of the industry.
