He wrote the words in an exam booklet that he was grading on an empty page.
The Hobbit is set about 60 years before most of the events in The Lord of the Rings.The Hobbit was published in 1937. The Lord of the Rings did not come out for over 20 years after that. It took Tolkien a long time to write the follow up.
After some time, The Hobbit was published, and Tolkien was asked to write a sequel to the novel. He first thought to send Bilbo on another adventure because he had run out of money then he started conceiving The Lord of the Rings as we know it. He took fifteen/twenty years to create and write LotR, and The Fellowship of the Ring was published in 1954.
None. The story has been completed. There are other works of Tolkien that may get made into movies. Currently there is discussion about putting the book The Hobbit on the screen. It is a prequel to the Lord of the Rings. The other books about Middle-earth occur long before the Third Age and the time of Men. Yes, there will be a new lord of the rings movie, called the Hobbit. It is based on Tolkien's original book set in Middle-earth before the events of LOTR. Peter Jackson is directing these two movies (yes, there will be two), and as I write they are rebuilding Hobbiton. I'm not sure if Ian McKellen (Gandalf) and Hugo Weaving (Elrond) will be retaking their old roles, but I hope so, since it would give the films a sense of continuity. All I know so far! Thanks.
You need to realize that Quenya and Sindarin are made up languages and Tolkien never defined a vocabulary of more than the few hundred words he needed for the stories. The other languages have even smaller vocabularies (for example the only known words of the pure Black Speech are the ring inscription). Sorry. You could settle for learning to write English mode Tengwar and writing the name in it.
When it was written or actually published? I think J.R.R Tolkien started to write the Lord of the Rings in 1937 after the Hobbit, and then was published in 1954."It was written in stages between 1937 and 1949, much of it during World War II."
The sequel to The Hobbit is The Lord of the Rings.
Absolutley! you might be interested in the Hobbit. Tolkien was inspired to write The Hobbit thanks to Beowulf.
It first came about as stories that Tolkien told to his children and then decided to write down.
I didn't know Tolkien was a timelord. o.O It was written in the 1930's -.- Fran Walsh wrote the movie
Much of the base for the books comes from writing that became the Silmarilian, which Tolkien worked on for many years. He then wrote The Hobbit in the 1930's and the Lord of the Rings was done int eh 40's and 50's before publication. The Silmarillian was published after Tolkien's death by his son.
J.R.R. Tolkien worked on "The Lord of the Rings" for over 12 years, from around 1937 to 1949. This epic novel was a continuation of his previous work, "The Hobbit," and Tolkien constantly revised and expanded upon the story during this time.
J.R.R. Tolkien wrote The Hobbit first (in the 1930s, released in 1937). He wrote The Lord of the Rings between 1937 and 1950, and was published in 1954/5; he started work on The Lord of the Rings after The Hobbit was published.He had actually written the stories that make up The Silmarillion even earlier, while recovering in a hospital during world war 1 from combat wounds. But while many parts of both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings stories refer to events in The Silmarillion, Tolkien never felt those stories were finished and was always reediting them throughout his life, so he never made a serious attempt to get them published himself.

Oh yes. His son, Christopher Tolkien, has spent the past few decades collecting, editing, and glossing volume after volume of J.R.R. Tolkien's notes, drafts, and ideas. There are 12 volumes of these - called the History of Middle-earth - far more words than the LOTR, the Hobbit, and the Silmarillion combined. Some of these writings include ideas that Tolkien later rejected, others writings where he fleshed out ideas and concepts for his own satisfaction but which really couldn't be put into LOTR without completely bogging the text down.
J.R.R. Tolkien primarily wrote in the fantasy genre, with his most famous works being "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" series. His writing often includes themes of heroism, friendship, and the battle between good and evil in a richly imagined world.
In England
He wrote the book at the request/urging of his friends (Inklings) after he read/told portions of it to them. But he originally told and made up the story as a bedtime story for his children.
