going to an open-mic poetry night at my local bookstore tomorrow and I'm a) super excited about it and b) super terrified BUT it's going to be a heck of a time! from 6-7 tomorrow evening I will be doing precisely what I want to with my life and that's a good feeling

I just don't think there is a better model for giving your work emotional depth and weight than LOTR. using Tolkien's work as my guide has absolutely made me a better writer, and the story I'm working on far more worth reading

there's more gravity to my own work now that I've wrapped my brain around LOTR properly. the sacrificial lamb isn't guaranteed a happy ending. some characters are going to die. the world isn't saved by one person alone, and none of them escape unchanged.

re-reading Lord of the Rings has genuinely changed the way I approach my own writing. it's a masterclass in properly utilizing both triumph and sorrow, in balancing the bitter with the sweet to make everything mean more
