Rewrites Make The World A Better Place

Tolkien originally named Frodo … Bingo.

Aragorn’s nom de guerre, Strider, was first conceived as … Trotter.

Frodo’s friend, Meriadoc Brandybuck, a.k.a. Merry, narrowly avoided the literary disaster of entering the pantheon as …. Marmaduke.

Always, always, always re-write.
