Update- Vah Shir Story

I said I would keep updating my faithfull readers, and I'm a eoman of my word, so here you go:

I'm exploding with ideas for this story, but I do not have time right now to write and it's almost killing me. I want to relate it back to my other story, The Amulet, (still working on the title for that one-- if you haven't read it yet and would like to, please email me at rphiller@eiu.edu). I'm still working on the ending for "The Amulet" because I can't decide whether I want to end it completely and make this new story (about the Vah Shir) a completely different story, or if I want to give it a cliffhanger ending and keep writing stories. Each will be different, but they will have a continuous plot. If anyone wants to let me know which one they prefer or would like to offer up another idea, feel free to comment; I always welcome comments and constructive criticism.

I could go with either option, however, if I do keep with the same plot as "the Amulet" I've got quite a surprise. I'm struggling to keep it to myself for now because it would really ruin it.

Some ideas that I do have that I can share concerns the trees that make up the Tree City. Throught "The Amulet", I mention that the trees are enchanted and I insinuate that theyso harmonious that they make those around them happy and cheerful. In the vah shir story, I wanted to expand on that and actually show the trees fufilling their role instead of saying that they are capable of such things. When Katrina arrives a the City, the trees actually reach out and grab her. I think I posted that scene already. Im not very experienced with fantasy writing and so far it's still a rough draft, bu I'd like to go back and liven it up some more and give it more detail.

I have plans to add in a scene with Innoruuk and Katrina in conversation. One of the
suggestions that was given to me when I had "the amulet" looked at by my creative writing class was to give innoruuk more character and a reason for being so evil. I think that having a scene where these two characters face each other will not only do just that, but also bring forth Katrina's true nature and her struggle within herself between good and evil.



I would like to add more into this post- i love to share my
Ideas and my writing, but I just don't have time right now.
