          What does freedom mean to you?
          
          
          You might be interested in my book Zoey and Zolani. It explores the topic of true love and freedom. 
          
          I hope you join me on the journey as we figure out the answer together !

Hi, sorry for being gone for so darn long. I've been working on a bunch of characters and some other secret things for F.O.H's second draft. There is so much I'm outlining right now. It might take a while for me to actually start. But it's going well. 
          
          Beyond writing, I'm trying to get my life in order, now that I'm old enough to take things into my own hands. That includes getting a job and such. But I want to update you guys more frequently. 
          
          I'll keep you guys updated.

Sorry, I've been so inactive this month guys. It's been super busy, but I figure it's well beyond time to update y'all. I've been grinding out ideas and characters for The Fire of Hope rewrite, which I'm now calling the second draft. I also figured out the name change. 
          
          I'm now calling it, The Heroes of Talamansia. It feels slightly cheesy, but I'm not complaining. I actually quite like it; it fits. 
          
          So yeah, I've been having tons of fun with the world. I did a world test too, which really inspired me. Here it is! https://www.wattpad.com/story/346801247-the-heroes-of-talamansia-what-came-from-the
          
          And if you guys would like to get to know what I have for the world so far, go check that out right here. https://www.wattpad.com/story/346540116-the-new-fire-of-hope-ideas-and-characters
          
          This "second draft" has been loads of fun so far and I'm really excited to start writing. I just need to figure out the places in the world, then I can start refining the storyline. 
          
          I'd love to have your guys' feedback. That's the stuff that really makes the book good and not just appealing. So please, it would mean the world to me. 
          
          Thanks for reading!

Okay, okay. I have a lot to explain. I haven't been lazy with my writing. Far from it in fact. I've been working on something huge. Very huge. It's hard to explain, but I'll do it for you guys. 
          
          I never put much planning into The Fire of Hope. Honestly, that was probably pretty clear in book 2. Sure, I spent a really long time putting the storyline together in my head, but I only actually started writing down my plans halfway through the book. I never asked for feedback, but that's because deep down, I knew it was pretty bad. I was really excited to write it, and for people to read it. T
          
          Truth is, I only started this project so that people could praise me for it. I was so focused on what I wanted to hear that I overlooked the actual quality of the book. The same goes for book 2. But I'm so, so tired of that now. I don't care about praises anymore. I just want to give my characters what they deserve. 
          
          So, with that new purpose to wright, I AM REWRITING THE FIRE OF HOPE. I am revamping some of the characters, especially Sorinn. But, this also allows me to not only include lots of dragons but also many, many more creatures. Sure, there was a reason that there were no other creatures except dragons in the original book, but with this new opportunity comes new races, cultures, and a whole new world. 
          
          Please understand, this is NOT about bad writing or bad scenes, those could be fixed. This is about The Fire of Hope, being what it deserves to be. I'll leave the original books up here for people to read, but I WILL NOT be editing, or writing them any further. 
          
          I know some of you have made places in your hearts for some of the characters, and I want some of them to stay, like, Moss, Searia (now Gwyn), and Cobalt. All of these characters will receive revamps. I know, it sucks. Well, especially for Moss. But this gives me a chance to flesh them out and give them straightforward and healthy, rich character arcs. 
          
          Thank you to all my beloved readers. This is for you.

@Krulian No, I do remember you! It's nice to see you again! 
            Hmm, actually, I have the perfect role for her. But sadly, all the roles are so far filled for book one. But I'll definitely have her in book 2.

@seaslasher Ay I just saw this too, lol.
            Seems pretty cool that you're revamping it.
            
            Though, I do hope you could keep Jade in the story in some way. She doesn't even have to be a villain or anything, but she was just pretty funny in her own weird little cultish ways.
            
            Actually, I think I find her funny because she'd have genuine emotion and show it when she was supposed to be the "dark and mysterious character, ohhh you don't know who I am or what's going on in this place".
            But yeah, I hope you don't plan to get rid of her. :>

I just wanted to clarify, FOH: The Wrath of Vengeance is BOOK 2 in the FOH series. So if you haven't read book one, I strongly suggest reading it so you can see ALL the character's development so far. 
          
          Thanks for reading!
