New Blog Post

This week on the blog, I talk about the various ways people communicate in fiction (and how it differs from genre to genre).

Looking Out The Window

(And also I make jokes about the Elves. Because that's how we roll in the Shire.)

Brain Skyping with Galadriel.

Hee!

Interesting thoughts, and actually relevant for me at the moment. Because I've actually been seriously considering a dive back into my Journey series. A part of me still longs to finish it, despite the fact several years have lapsed since the last installment. But as I find myself thinking about upcoming stories, I too noted I now have this huge disconnect in considering how I would have those characters communicate NOW, and how they probably would have communicated in their particular time-line.

There's also Brain Texting with Galadriel, which is what happens in Lorien and in RotK when she's talking to people without facetime. Frodo gets the Brain Skype, after the thing with the spider. What makes The Hobbit cool, is that we discover Galadriel can send Brain Texts while she is also Brain Skyping. She clearly has the best service provider in Middle Earth. I mean, Celeborn has got to be doing SOMETHING all day, and it's clearly not, you know, LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW because then Dol Gulder wouldn't have taken a millenia.

(Wow, that got away from me...)

You are adorkable. ;)

And this totally makes me think there needs to be copies of The Hobbit and LOTR book set, which has been personally annotated by you.
