I have decided to rewrite the beginning of "A Different shade of Gray" because I am stuck on how to get to the next part of the story, and the best way to move forward is often to go back. Also I think that that start gives it a to serious tone. It needs to have a lighter tone so when the plot gets going it's much more dramatic. It also goes to much into the stress between the Aredains and the humans which isn't really what the story is about. So I'm going to restart. I most likely will post the new first chapter but I might not.

I also have a new mission for this summer that is to re-read "The Hobbit" through the "Return of the King". And maybe the Silmarillion. But I also have a lot of things I need to read that people have lent me
