I always think of Tolkien writing LOTR. He got the hobbits to Bree in the first book, and out of nowhere this character Strider appears and insists on entering the story. Strider turned out to be Aragon, a character fundamental to the story, and Tolkien said he came out of the compost heap in his mind, unknown. I haven't described Tolkien's process nearly as well as he did, but I never forgot his recounting, and I try to put a lot of things into my compost heap and see what appears! thanks for your kind words about my post! Happy writing to you too!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-68329717377195697752016-11-03T12:37:10.543-06:002016-11-03T12:37:10.543-06:00It's the best high of all, Tony!

I am hopeful about my short story, but there are a lot of talented writers in our IWSG group. The challenge for me was to write it and submit it, my first fantasy writing ever; so win or not, I'm very happy about the experience. Happy writing in November!Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349947899983990762.post-84320404986952545982016-11-03T12:14:13.592-06:002016-11-03T12:14:13.592-06:00Hi, Jan!

I was born in Wolfville, graduated from Acadia, lived from one end of the province to another, family in Digby area for centuries! And yes, I love the Bay of Fundy! I emigrated to the US decades ago, and I've been all over the southwest and to the Grand Canyon several times. Labrador ~ I wanted to go there all my life and finally took a ferry over from St. Barbe with my husband and two of my sisters. We drove to Red Bay and back between ferries. My fellow travelers were not as entranced as I (black flies) and mostly hid in the car. Here's a link to a post I did on that day, if you're interested: http://selkiegrey4.blogspot.com/2012/11/iceberg-alley-labrador.html Thanks for your kind words about my writing and photography!

Then I saw you were on the move. And you take good photos! I already know you care about writing, so, all and all you're my kinda pal! Tell me about your one day in Labrador.

The parade was a blast, lots of hearses and spooky characters. I was across the street from the Container Park, and it's giant preying mantis was shooting flames into the air throughout the parade. It's really windy down here in Laughlin, even more so than when we left Vegas today. Enjoy your travels too!

Congrats on getting your IWSG story wrote and submitted. I'm sure it was a lot different than working on a memoir.
