Angel Blackwood: My favorite bit of #editing on chapter 11 of Waxing, book two of the Obsidian Embers Trilogy. I love these side characters more than I probably should. * Just as Zenovia started to rise, the soldier noisily walked back into camp. Zenovia ducked again, cursing softly as Quiz suppressed a laugh behind his long-fingered hand. The soldier briefly fixed his brown-eyed gaze on them, and Zenovia’s stomach dropped. Without any indication that he had seen them, he turned and ducked inside the small tent sitting a ways from the fire. Quiz leaned over to her and whispered, “You know this is crazy? He could kill you.” “Maybe he’s a scout?” “Still could kill you.” He smirked at her, almost triumphant that her plan was failing. With a sneer, Zenovia gestured to the clearing. “Kill him first.” “What?” His brows shot up at the words. “You’ve told me how you killed that one man.” With a satisfied smile, she said, “Kill this one.” “That was different!” “How?” “Self-defense. And he wasn’t expecting it.” “He’s not expecting it,” she retorted, jerking her head toward the tent. * #amwriting #writing #amwritingfantasy #fantasy #books #ObsidianEmbers
