I think Tolkien would be too old to do much writing himself.
CT has noted in Unfinished Tales that many of his father's later writings were often illegible,and that some contra-
dicted things he had written earlier. But then again,keeping
down all the details of his world is difficult enough for
anyone. If he were still alive though, The Silmarillion would probably be different then the one we know,since he
did not consider it finished at the time of his death.

P.S.- Wasn't Gil-Galad's father Fingon?
