Help Me!! (Solarin)
« Thread Started on May 7, 2006, 9:25am »		[Quote]
Alright, so this is the first little thing you editors can advise me on. I really have to do well on this stupid little paragraph or my head will be seriously bitten off by another group member... and she may replace my work with her own. Please try not to let this make you gag too much... I'm just trying to be true to the book. This is really what the book says this guy looks and acts like. (Of course at the ending he gets all stupid and gushy-mushy....)

No action-packed novel is complete these days without that tall, young, handsome, and tantalizingly mysterious man. In The Eight, by Katherine Neville, Solarin’s character fits the bill perfectly. As Grand Chess Master of Russia, Solarin is quick-witted and difficult to distract once his goal has been set. He has his own agenda, moving people and things as in the opening gambit of a game of chess. Solarin has no reluctance to dispatch those who threaten his plans. When Cat, the main character, first sees the prodigious chess player, she feels “as a bird is charmed by a snake” (pg.79). Solarin’s eyes are a pale silvery green. His blond hair is long enough to brush his collar, worn swept away from his face. He has the tall, slender physique of a dancer. His flawlessly classic features give the impression of a Renaissance statue, with the same cool demeanor. Taken all together, Solarin is a dangerously perfect romantic hero.

Oh! Want to see his picture?? My stupid group member HATES this too...

She doesn't like his stubble... and she wouldn't even give me one little compliment on anything. Especially after I struggled with that stupid eye so long to get it green instead of brown. I thought he was closer to Solarin's description than I would be if I dressed up as him (which was another option).

1. I'm not at all blond
2. I don't have green eyes
3. I'm not a freaking GUY!

I am not an Editor yet but I would just like to say it is quite descriptive and tells you quite a lot in just one paragraph and I think it is a good choice to insert the quote where you did and a good choice on what quote you used.

Keep writin',

Thanks for the input Missy X, and welcome to the forum. ;) Fortunately I did survive through this project with an A+... but my group ended up splitting into two pairs.
