Story Idea

This would be an excellent seed for a short story, or even the opening incident of a longer novel.

Resolution

My New Year's Eve resolution is to be as precise and disciplined as possible in the coming year. Precision and discipline are quite valuable in themselves, as attractive moral qualities, but they bring the added benefits of decidedly positive results: personal satisfaction, public achievements, general recognition. So, I'll take up those two qualities like I've never taken them up before, and be good at them.

Last Post of the Year

My elf name is Ereinion Anwamanë, while my hobbit name is Samwise Broadbelt of Buckland.
