I thought maybe your thread topic line was a reference to Sam contemplating writing a novel based on the images of the Shire's destruction that he saw in Galadriel's fountain:-)
I can just see the movie (directed by Peter Jackson of course, since he left that part out of his other movie):
A hobbit, dressed nattily in the latest Gondorian fashion sidles up to the bar in the Green Dragon, orders a pint, shaken not stirred and says to the bartender, "The name's Gamgee, Sam Gamgee" as a slinkily dressed Rosie curls her hobbit fingers around his cape collar and up into his locks and asks "Where have you been all this time Mr. G? I've missed you"...
Suddenly Sam spurts and snuffles to get the water out of his nose that Frodo has just splashed into his face by slapping the surface of Galadriel's fountain. "Snap out of it Sam -- we have a ring to destroy..."
Oh well, perhaps Sam will have more time to write his thriller novel after his "I'm back" last words of LotR when he has finally gotten Frodo off his back once and for all.

…on a night of rain Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water. And then it seemed to him that as in his dream in the house of Bombadil, the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a fair green country under a swift sunrise.
