Did I really write this much?

primsongI'm busy ploughing my way through my Tolkien poems, posting them to the new 'master list' project at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
written_leaves in sets or occasionally alone. Thank goodness at some point in the past I started keeping a list of all my poems in the order of the story they are illustrating, it's proved invaluable as I go along.
At this point I've posted all the LOTR fic, the smaller verse (in lots, at least those that were worth reading) and now all the poems following the order of the story all the way through Fellowship of the Ring. This morning I'm heading into TTT. Tags are still evolving. (edited to update 12-20 - I got on a roll and finished TTT, now for the Return... and edited AGAIN rather than being repetitious in my posts to say I conquered the Poetry section on 12-23 - including the better stuff out of the old rubbish poem page from bookloaf that I then removed.)
The weird thing is it's been just long enough that it's often as if someone else wrote them. Some have been tossers that were winnowed out but not as many as I expected, others get some editing but most are 'as is'.
And I get sucked right into some of them, which I guess is a good sign for their endurance!
I admit I am hopeful for the occasional intrepid reader who might read-and-review, though I know with poetry the audience is thinner. Hope springs eternal for us pathetically needy-of-feedback writers.
No wonder I gave up on hand-copying them into a journal a while back. Onward!
Also made a batch of gingerbread dough today to try my hand at sculpting something for our Tolkien-themed Gingerbread Contest this year, yum... hard to leave the dough alone, I love gingerbread.
