If you could have a pet--and you had time to give it all the love and care it needs, had the space, and had the necessary funds--what would your dream pet be?
Hmmm I went with the tomato dog in the attack of the killer tomatoes cartoon. See, it isn't a dog, it is technically still a tomato , thus a plant. so it needs water and light BUT it barks and has some sort of permanent leaves that act as legs to crawl about. I have no idea if it is male or female... or both, and what happens if it cross pollinates . I don't know if anybody else has read this far, as I rabble on, but what if the tomato dog cross pollinates with a pumpkin or a pomegranate or a watermelon. As long as I don't see any audrey signs I am good to go. And as a tomato it has to have seeds... but, as a tomato dog, what if it mates with a canine of sorts. I don't know if the tomato dog has .. um a penis or vagina but i will love to see it mate with a black belgian shepard wolf, imagine a burgundy belgian shepard tomato wolf. I have money right, land right. I don't know what will happen. IT could be my doom. The Fall of the house of Richard by the Burgundy Tomato wolf . Imagine the howl of the tomato wolf Yeah , my dream pet is the tomato dog , I have officially convinced myself

Are you a Dune Fan?
Did you know how Dune the book came to survive the magazine zone
What grammar or punctuation rules do you struggle with?
I want to speak on how grammar plus punctuation are approached.
Louis 14th , or another french monarch if I am wrong, made the first french, labeled, standard.
Why? There was a time in France where the people in the various regions spoke so many versions commercial or communicative purposes were stymied. A modern example I can give is a few years ago the coach of the english women's flag team stated the women come from so many different places , in modern england, that they have a hard time comprehending each other talking together on the pitch. So they use the standard english to communicate to each other.
Grammar rules or punctuation rules in any language in all of human history are made and enforced to improve communication or commerce among a set of humans.
Sequentially, don't treat said rules as the essence of writing but a ruleset. No different than the equation of a line: value in one axis equals the slope of the line multiplied by the value in the axis perpendicular to the intercepting value in the one axis.
You have the right to forget a rule. That is why they have rulebooks. Take your time , go through your work, and make the changes if need be. Use a reference book. Use the various electronic tools if accessible.
But, As Zora Neale Hurston or Robert Burns prove, in opposition to commerce or communication, creative purposes do not require said commonly accepted grammar or punctuation rules. Both of said artists have work that was and is deemed negative grammatically or punctuation wise because they don't fit the commonly accepted standards.
I end with, listen to Writed, use or apply the commonly accepted rules of the written word. They are mostly known or accepted. They do aid in making communication or commerce better. But, if you creatively wish to go another way, you are free to or not erroneous in doing so. Just be willing to accept many may or will chastise your creative work because it doesn't embrace said rules.

Questions of Supermen?
I answer the following two questions
- IF discovery channel takes your name out of a container of random writers names, and gives you the chance to do a superman movie. Describe your film in one sentence?
- LEt's say Discovery channel chose you and not tae nihis coates to do a black superhero movie, what will the superhero be and describe it in one sentence?
Thoughts to the New Shadow that never was
the following was a comment to the following video concerning the work of tolkien not finished
The beginning of the New Shadow reminds me of Ivanhoe from Walter Scott. Ivanhoe at its heart is a book about two whose bloody merger will become one. The beginning of New Shadow suggest one who is becoming two.
Did Tolkien ever write a story about the Haradrim or sothyrons? I know of characters but never heard of a story tolkien wrote.
To your final question, I am surprised no one in fanfiction has tried something. Tolkien has so many fans and so many fans are writers.
