1. FIRST AGE Here ends the SILMARILLION. If it has passed from the high and the beautiful to darkness and ruin, that was of old the fate of Arda Marred; and if any change shall come and the Marring be amended, Manwë and Varda may know; but they have not revealed it, and it is not declared in the dooms of Mandos.

Fingolfin: *goes to Morgoth’s home and insults him there*

Poor Gwindor gets so little attention in the fandom. We love our elves young and beautiful.

We remember him as a weak, sad cripple, but he begins his story “young and strong” and betrothed to a princess. He goes crazy when Morgoth cuts off his brother’s arms and legs, charges the enemy, & triggers the cataclysmic Battle of Unnumbered Tears. He escapes after 14 years in Angband, bowed and aged by slavery and torture (and didn’t he lose one hand escaping, like Maedhros?) Then Gwindor’s girl falls in love with Turin whom Gwindor has rescued and brought home to Nargothrond. Worse, Turin gives the king disastrous advice, and Gwindor is the only one who sees it and objects, but everyone ignores him.

And yet, faced with the loss of everything he held dear and the rejection of everyone he loved, the awesome thing about Gwindor is that he continues to love Finduilas who rejected him and Turin who supplanted him. He tells Finduilas “go whither love leads you”, and with his last breath tells Turin “I love you, bro. Go save my girl.”

Gwindor deserves more love.

The Aurebesh, an alphabet for the Star Wars universe, created by West End Games art director Stephen Crane for his Star Wars Miniatures Battles Companion rules supplement (1994). The Aurebesh now appears in the canonical films, in phrases that can be transposed into English.

Useful if this is how you think, though often I don’t see the outline until after the draft is written, because after awhile one just internalize this kind of stuff from all the media one ingests. Point is, use if helpful, ignore if not.

Another suggestion for anyone interested: because one of my weaknesses as a writer is sustaining narrative momentum, I’ve recently started using this mystery novel breakdown as a template, even though mystery/detective isn’t the genre I write in. It’s really useful as a way to keep track of what the story needs at a given moment in terms of balance and character.
