I hope so 
lol.
THANKS BUT DO I? 
Rough concept... thoughts?
These two dudes are in a gang and they sell drugs, and also go around collecting people for the boss. They’re quite high ranking, and one is also a unisex salon owner as his day job (the other is just in the gang). They’re also dating each other. Something goes wrong with one of their deals and it’s botched and the boss looks into it and discovers a lot more than he bargained for. And a lot od dangerous, difficult decisions end up being made. It’s also set in 2004.

Interesting, organized crime stories are always very dramatic and it sound like yours will have lots of conflict too. It’s a good idea.

Thanks, I am just keeping that idea rough so I can change it when needed. I like the concept of it being centered around a gang and subjects that never get explored within those circles.

I am going to make a change in this current draft of Project Succession. Aeris is going to go back to being a princess instead of being an empress. I know I made her an empress far too fast, I don’t care, I am going to turn her back into a princess and go from there, even though she summoned Mal’gel which will disrupt the flow, I wrote down the changes in a notebook for the next draft. I am good and I no longer care.
I am off to work on chapter sixteen for a bit.

It sounds great and filled with potential! 2004 is also hitting that sweet spot where there are security cameras in some places, but not literally EVERYWHERE. Lots of opportunities for crimes, and also risks (but not guarantees) of getting recorded.

Yeah, that’s another good point too. I think that some places will need to rely on “visuals” and “word of mouth” to solve crimes. My characters also use disguises too, somewhat. In the first chapter, Josy chases after a man to bring him back to the boss and he wears a pair of oversized shades and a snapback. I thought that was a pretty sweet idea, for some reason lol.
I just imagine the main characters look like they’re from 2004 too.
Here's the leading men:
This is Josy. This picture is probably from some random family event he was dragged to, and an aunt thought he looked nice in his shirt. He’s 25, and he’s unemployed even though he has a college degree in economics. He likes listening to music, working out, playing sports and hustling. He’s more the voice of reason, and the action man. He’s also in love with Frankie.
This is Frankie. This picture was taken by Josy when he got his new cameraa and Frankie hates the angle. He’s 24, and he owns and works at a unisex salon, and went to trade school before. He likes watching TV, dancing, working out and fashion. He’s the people person, and good at getting connections.
And also by setting it in that era, it means that the characters have potential for crossover with my other ones from that era like Igor and Juan. (Yeah, I am working on them too). I can connect and make the churroverse and its timeline more cohesive too.

I am done with chapter 17 from Project Succession!
I enjoyed it! I introduced some people who are going to be Aeris and her family’s enemies. Things are exciting and I am loving every moment of it.

Abby emmons has some good content for it. Um Story Planner.com has a good free trial with stuff. That helped me with my current project. For me its just me setting and really thinking about my main characters for a few days and really thinking about what I want. After that I kind of just make up a plot so I can write something with the characters I get all obsessed with lol.

I like the concept but I opened it up and then just noped out of it. I dunno any of these things about my characters, LOL.
Yeah, I should do that. I have an idea of the plot but JosFra (that’s what I’m calling them), but nothing else is connecting. Their romance feels like it isn’t connecting. 
But it’s like the most important part of the plot, lol.
I have a lot of characters I am obsessed with, a hundred percent but a lot of them just end up as roleplaying characters without novels written about them, even know I know them well enough for a story.
