Looking to the New Year.

Hello good reader!

When I started this blog I didn’t expect much (if any) of a positive response, but much to my delight and suprise I have recieved one. So, the infancy is over, and onward we march into the new year, heads held high and plans for it like bees swarming.

Today I’m going to share some of the plans I have for the future.

This year I find myself with nearly no responsabilities, and an astonishing amount of free time, which I plan to put to good use. I’ve got plans for this blog.

I’m going to be posting a lot more, about more things, and with greater care and quality put into what I write. I’ll be finishing the series I started on The Hobbit, and starting a new one on the Silmarillion in the later half of the year. I’ll also be doing more writing on poetry and short stories (some Poe to get things moving I think), films and comics, and basically an form of story-telling that’s worth while. I’ll be writing more stuff about art, and sharing more of my own, which has been a struggle this year because of a gimpy wrist. And if all goes according to plan, I’ll be starting a youtube channel for things that aren’t really suited to being shared on a blog (which includes some art stuff) and doing some collaborations with my good friend @Ianfjay from http://ianfjay.wordpress.com/, which will be great.

This year already looks good, thanks for being part of it.

Bravely onwards into the future. Until next time.

 

Update on the Hobbit series

Hello good reader!

I hope you’ve enjoyed what I have written on the Hobbit so far, because it’s been a pleasure to write. Due to the business of Christmas I can’t afford to put a lot of time into doing the Hobbit series, so until the new year, it’ll be taking a backseat. I’ll still be doing similar posts on literature/poetry each week, They’ll just be on simpler things (or if not simpler, shorter). I really didn’t feel as though I was doing The Hobbit justice with my posts, so taking a break and getting everything in order for a new start will help me to make the content better.

To start this temporary phase on a good note, tomorrow I’ll be taking a quick look at one of Toklien’s most well known poems, which will be a joy.

Until next time.

That is All.

The First Post

Hello good reader.

I apologise to anyone who has previously visited my blog only to be met with an about page and a distinct lack of content. If you had an idea of how long I spent deliberating over what to make my first post about, you would print this, frame it, and hang it within a dedicated shrine, or you might not. Because of certain duties I have at the moment it’s hard fot me to put time into writing frequent content for my blog, this is a temporary situation and come mid-November the blog will become one of my main focuses. But as it stands, I can’t commit much time to it. I am writing this post to work as a teaser for things that are yet to come by briefly going over some of the subjects that I will be exploring in my posts in the future.

 

Out of the things I have planned in the coming months these are the ones that I have been putting the most thought and planning into. First and foremost a post explaining to my good (and patient) readers where my passions stem from in what I will be writing about and why I chose a blog to be my format of communiation. As I read and re-read through some of J.R.R. Tolkien’s works I plan on doing a series of posts on the Silmarilllion, to encourage people to read it, and to attempt to provide some clarity for it more confusing sections. I plan on posting pictures of a lot of my art, as when my current pre-occupation is over it will be coming think and fast, and I also hope to share my experiences (and sketches of these experiences) as I travel to the Philippines later this year.

 

Again, I apologise to anyone has come to my blog and seen nothing worth coming back for (as is usually the case when there is no content) and assure you that there will be a reason to come back in the future. I will try and post when I can, but until then.

That is All.
