I know I am still brand new to the site, but I've been thinking about a blog post that looks at aspects of Tolkien's work that most fantasy writers seem to miss. My working title is: "Tolkien Revisited: Rethinking Tolkien Emulation"
The basic points would be things like: the kinds of protagonists he used (and their Biblical similarities), LOTR & The Hobbit vs. The Silmarillion, his linguistic background and it's lessons for us (write what you love), and rethinking "The Quest."
Let me know what you think.

I like it! Sounds like a fresh perspective.

Remember that to post on the blog you have to register on the blog.

Thanks Jay!
I'll try and post it on the Submissions board as soon as I can. Unfortunately, I'm behind on homework and have mid-terms this week, so I'll have to put it off for a bit. (Sometimes I think Bible College is more of a beast than secular schools, but it's what I get for listening to God's call to full-time ministry.) Hopefully, I'll have the post up by next week, but no promises.
In Christ,

No problemo.
