wiseheart... seems to have started. Ithilwen isn't the only one who got bitten lately.
Yestereve I got bitten by a very specific plotcritter (they are like plotbunnies, just smaller and more insistent, so they get literally everywhere). So I found myself writing on a prequel to "Cold Comfort". It's decades before the Ring War and describes how Finduilas helped her hubby to get rid of that annoying Thorongil.
I found myself introducing Denethor's older sisters, Morwen of Lossarnach visiting her relatives shortly before Thengel's death and a circle of quiet, elegant and incredibly dangerous high-born noblewomen deciding that no matter how useful Thorongil might be for Gondor, pushing the Steward's Heir into the background is not a Good Thing(TM).
The ladies are positively frightening. So is what my muse is doing with me. Why, o why am I not allowed to finish my ongoing projects first, before I jump into a new one?
