What inspiration do you get from Tolkien? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

On the topic of inspiration gathered from Tolkien one of my scripts is being considered by the BBC, it's a historical epic about Richard III. I'm hoping it gets made!

Thank you very much my friend. I'm really quite psyched up about it, the Battle of Bosworth should be a mighty affair if it is ever put onto celluoid.Not as good as LOTR mind you but still pretty decent

yes, essays, mostly. And i love the poetry!!! kinda inspired me to write my own.

Me too! Yeah, I won a few poetry competitions back in the day, it's so fulfilling to see that others apreciate your work too.

Tolkien's work for me reaffirms the inspired notion that a person of less significance can make a difference. To keep trying in what I feel is right.

I naturally gravitate to more simple/rural living and Tolkien's descriptive writing inspires me to make my home a more pleasing and welcoming place to be.

Like Folwren, I sew a bit more and love to make cloaks, too.

it makes me aware of the times i live in, that there's always a spiritual battle going on between good and evil.
