Well, I'm back.  This is a make-up of last week's post (explained in the comments).
I have been studying J.R.R. Tolkien for my project.  He is my favorite (well…. one of my favorites) author.  Tolkien wrote many books, including The Lord of the Rings.  Tolkien has a very distinctive, unique style about his writing.  In it, he uses descriptions vividly and generously.  Whole pages of his books can sometimes describe landscapes.   I want to be able to use some of his style for my novel.  What makes a book stand out so well?  You can picture everything about the scenes in your mind, and feel the book come to life.  SO, I'm gonna practice a bit.  I want to know how anybody feels about this short… exercise, I guess.

"The forest was still.  From the treetops of the emerald pines, a songbird flew down to its nest.  The nest was small, only the size of one's palm, and was made of rough hickory twigs.  The long, slender bodies of the twigs intertwined like a tapestry, or the waves of the sea.  The bird pushed another twig into the nest, adjusted it, and flew off again.  From up on high, in the cloudy land above, the land rolled and weaved.  There were big boulders, embedded in the green hills, and shrubs here and there where the field creatures would eat.  The bird climbed to the highest point around, to the top of a hill where a hickory tree grew.  The tree was old, gnarled like an elderly poet bent down to write.  Perching upon its boughs, the bird was on top of its world."

Okay, so there is that.

Anyways, I really need some feedback about my stuff (ITS IN THE COMMENTS SECTION) so, post some stuff people.

As I will always do if I have talked about an author, here is Tolkien.  You should read his stuff, it's really quite good.
