I don't see anything wrong with drafting in pen. Even if I eventually move to the computer, putting pen to paper is a great aid to the creative process.

This line from a Bruce Springsteen show has been on my mind lately, and I hope it can bring some comfort to anyone who needs it: "The grief that we feel when our loved ones leave us is just the price that we pay for having loved well."

died aged 81. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is the best-selling book of the 20th Century, and is joined by seminal works The Hobbit and The Silmarillion. He may have died 52 years ago but his influence and legacy lives on in us all. Namárië.
