Getting ready for Thanksgiving

Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding onto something.

Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?

Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for.

“*fog pours in* It’s close to midnight, and NaNoWriMo’s lurking in the dark Under the moonlight, your lack of outline almost stops your heart You will not scream, your inspiration comes because you’ll make it You cannot freeze, your novel looks you right between the eyes You’re energized ‘Cause this is NaNo-oooo! NaNo night! And no one’s gonna save you from the plot about to strike You know it’s NaNo! NaNo night! You’re writing for your life to share a marvel, novel tonight!”

— Merry NaNo, and a happy Halloween to you all. (via lettersandlight)
