Kindred Spirits by Antane
Frodo Baggins · 25 October 2005 · Chapter 1: Kindred Spirits
Oh, Antane!! What a beautiful piece of fanfic!! I can relate to the feeling, as I've moved many a time and left best friends. Had I viewed it at the time of the move, I probably would have actuall cried. I choked up now. It's hard to get me to cry, on movies adn books. The tears just don't fall. Sorry for the rambling. Namarie! God Bless, Frodo Baggins

You have a firm admirer in me. This is beautiful! *bows* It sounds like it could be sung. I love the short poems like that; they often say so much more than longer ones because they use so few words. Boy, how did you get so good? If I ever write half so well, I'll consider myself lucky. I'm very new myself, to SOA and to LOTR fanfic writing; and though I've been reading for about two years, I'm still trying to get the hang of writing it. I can't wait to see more from you! I'm off to read "Worth Fighting For!" Namarie, and God bless you! Galadriel

Thank you for your continued kind words! I smiled when you said "how did you get so good" because my mother said those very words to me just the other day! I actually have had the great good fortune of having two very talented writer friends who have helped me grow tremendously when I was writing Star Wars stories and there are many talented writers in LOTR as well that have really helped me. I was not sure when I started writing hobbity stories whether I could do it justice or not but I gained a lot of confidence thanks to others who have inspired me. So keep reading and keep writing and it will come! Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
