Something like that.
Anyway, this, to me, is a beautiful glimpse of the writing process. To read this, as a fan of Faramir and his exceedingly well-developed character, and to learn that Tolkien himself had no idea of his existence is phenomenal.
It shows that writing is indeed not a job, but an art form, and one I hope to be slightly as good as Tolkien at.
Not nearly to that point, nor will I be for quite a long time.
