The Intense Editing starts today!

I’ve organized with my editor that we’re going edit two chapters at a time and talk over the edits weekly. Today we’re going to knock out the first two chapters of Fire’s Hope and make them absolutely perfect. There are now three full binders of FH! I think I’ve done the most work on these two chapters, but I’m excited to get moving through the rest of the book, it needs work but it is my love.

Sorry for the bit of delay this Thursday, I’ve been at editing all day! Without further ado, there’s this weeks character sketch! By popular request:

Week 4: Silverstonarellena

Background Information: When Sil was born his Shadow was immediately active and it almost killed him, he was taken to the ASH and very quickly refined his powers, abnormally quick. He has caused a series of fights with other Shadows but he lost to Kip once, and was injured, he never speaks of it, but other Shadows hint at it.                

Character Changes:  Sil is introduced as cold and uncaring but he like many of the other Shadows struggle with displacement from their families, however, unlike the others he feels a connection to his family which Mark helps to bring out. Despite their differences, Sil reaches out to Mark offering him training for his Shadow in a covert manner, unintentionally inviting Mark to challenge him.
