Time, Time, I Need More Time!
In this scene from The Hobbit, Gollum and Bilbo Baggins are asking each other riddles. I don't remember all the details right now, but it's a scene in which the little monster--Gollum--is out for blood. For the win, Gollum asks a riddle that Bilbo can't figure out. When his time is up, Bilbo pleads, "Time, time, I need more time"--something like that. As luck would have it, "time" is the answer to the riddle, so Bilbo wins.
Why am I thinking about this? I ran across another novel idea that I've wanted to write for a long time. Add it to the others I currently have in mind, and "Time, time, I need more time" is the phrase that shouts in my head.
I might write a bit about the new idea soon, but for now, I have to get ready to leave town to see my granddaughters for the holiday.
Have a safe and happy 4th, and pray that this nation somehow learns to live up to this celebration of itself and its ideals.
