5th August

Oh dear, I am plagued with so much guilt! The last time I updated one of my stories was 8 months ago...I really felt touched by some readers who persist in putting me on their favorite lists despite the glaring fact that I have not updated any of my stories! I just want to say thank you to all who continue having faith in me...I promise that as soon as my holidays arrive, I shall endeavour to spend time updating them.

Under the Innumerable Stars: This story needs only one of two more chapters before I can wrap it up in a tidy ending.

Swan Maiden: I may or may not be updating this depending on my muse. I love Finarfin and Earwen, but I realised I have too little Tolkien-ness for a Silmarillion fic, if you get what I mean. I need to do more research in this area before I consider myself qualified to continue writing this.

Phantom Purchases a Soul: Rest assured this is one fic I would definitely finish. I love PotO...

I am just a Tolkien freak cum LOTR fanatic, who is obsessed with everything to do with Middle Earth especially elven lore.

Earwen of Alqualonde is the wife of Finarfin son of Finwe, mother of Galadriel, meaning she is foremother to Celebrian and Arwen Undomiel, and of kin to Luthien Tinuviel. Not much is said of her on the Silmarillion, except she is of the Teleri and swan maiden of her people. In unfinished tales, it is said she has "star like silver hair" Just a few notes on her appearance.

The beautiful part of writing is that you do not have to get it right the first time, unlike say, a brain surgeon. You can always do it better, find the exact word, the apt phrase, the leaping simile.
