Super Quick 5 Second Survey on Firestorms! Thanks #amwriting #YaLitChat
Personally I’m leaning towards both as a plot point. Choice A is a natural firestorm sweeping across the countryside that the students must face alone and harness their magic to defeat. Choice B is political intrigue brewing at the royal courts which leads to Maride facing execution for the murder of his fiancée.
Choice B wouldn’t be resolved until the second book. Choice A would be a great character-building exercise for Vedaris (dragon with no powers), Allorna (royal guardian trainee), Sitara (amnesiac storm-caller), Maride (researcher-cum-librarian) and Sidimo (glyph-reading healer) that would have an immediate resolution. It would also lead to a more immediate strengthening of their bond. If I had to choose just one it would be the firestorm – it’s more exciting to write about.
Also BIG NEWS! Yesterday I made it to 40,000 words!!! Hip, hip hooray for me. Now I’m expanding my original 55,000 WIP to 80,000. I honestly don’t think I can get all my plot points in with just 65K, which I did consider. But more on that later.
