Yes, I suppose I am struggling…to understand my characters and the story both in a deeper level.
So, yeah, I am struggling with that.

Honestly, I got three reincarnation isekai stories and one of them I am focusing on at the moment. The other two are just thoughts and nothing has happened yet.
The second idea is a real doozy and it is wild as hell!
Like a group of friends go to a return to a carnival that is closing down before they leave for college. They ride on a rollercoaster that has a mishap that kills all of them and they are isekai’d to another world that is not earth, but it’s a post-apocalyptic setting where the entire world is a monarchy and reach nation is meant to showcase the darkest fears that every child has and then what every teenager has more-so than an adult.
The group of friends have different lives and struggles and their fears come to life. One of them is reborn in a country where amusement parks, circuses, carnivals, and locals fairs are their absolute fear/phobia.
I LOVE the second, but the third is great too! The third one is about an old tyrant who is reincarnated into an apprentice of a high ranking mage who struggling to provide for his family and himself due to working for his mage master. The master mage is murdered and the apprentice is framed for it and has to escape the law, only to learn that his fifth great-grandchild is current ruler of the nation and his biggest problem in the story.
So, the tyrant is reborn a nobody who is trying to right every wrong that he has caused and his descendants, but it won’t be easy since in this new world he is nobody, but there’s a chance that he can a be a somebody with the right help in his journey.
See, I like these reincarnation isekai stories very much!
Teehee!

Honestly, I am highly conflicted for the stupidest reasons.
I plan to not ever show this story to anyone this story, so it will remain a story that I at least want to see each the ending.
However, pieces I do take from this story, can be useful for future writing endeavors when I DO PLAN TO return to Red Reign with a WAAYYY different outlook and gain the chance to a fresh mindset.
So, by the time I am fully ready to, I will need to get some books to read that can help my craft and practice way more.
I got three stories and I am only doing one of them.
So, for starting the story’s chapter I can’t decide between doing it in First-Person, Third-Person Limited, and or Play Format.
I REFUSE to do all three, that is just time consuming to me!

So, what is my final decision for my story?
I am going to write Red Reign later in third-person perspective, but honestly I am so used to third-person POV when I write. I can’t bring myself to writing first person anymore in all honesty.
I do truly want to get better at writing third person, once I get back into reading novels.
My decision is third-person limited.
Gosh! I want to know how to write third-person omniscient!

Time for the real switcheroo.
Nirvana, my complex and ultra powerful supreme goddess, needs to have her very own story. Renna isn’t that amazing as I once thought and Nirvana is more interesting and deserves some flaws.
Presenting, Her Imperial Divine Highness, Isilynor Jorildyn Renna eins Naivin, High Princess of Relkilia and Amnika the Lightbringer.

I don’t think that my story is even a reincarnation-isekai.
I mean it’s something else now that I am thinking about it.
Draft two, when I am completely done with draft one will be outlined along with getting some edits and revisions.
Looking forward to that.
Happy Writing, everybody!

How to win a Pulitzer Prize:
- Write about white people.
- Write about white people’s problems.
- Make sure they are first world problems (the more petty and obscure the better).
- Make sure they have dumb names.
- Make sure they’re liberal with boring lives living in a big city.
- Make sure true topic is boring.
- Write about 1-6 in a pretentious way.
- Make sure the novel is lit fic.
- Give it a short weird name.
10: Be as woke and weird as possible

To be honest I’ve only read a few of these, although I have some of them on my Kindle right now. And for others I’ve only seen the movie, like To Kill a Mockingbird, Gone With the Wind and The Caine Mutiny. There’s at least one on this list that I think was given a pity award, since the author had just committed suicide shortly before publication. I totally loved the book, but didn’t think it said anything particularly brilliant. Not sure how Less ever won an award, unless it was running against some real stinkers that year. So how many of these have you read?

Well some of us don’t have the privilege not to be “woke and weird”. The Colour Purple and Beloved, both Pulitzer winners, continue to be banned across the US for being just that. And it will continue to happen as long people believe in this Myth of the Woke Boogeyman

Churro doesn’t mean woke and weird as in being cool, he means them in the way that they are lame and boring. Do you want to have boring safe shit all your life?

There’s a difference between being woke and ‘weird’ in a meaningful and inspirational way, and the “[mostly] white liberal middle/upper-class first-world problem” way. That’s what I mean by being “woke and weird” in the context of my post. I should have defined that better.
The Color Purple or Beloved aren’t meant to be lumped into the stories I mentioned.
The woke, weird thing seems to have been mostly this way since the early 00s-10s. It’s related to the types of people writing the stories too.
There’s a difference between a work that is considered ‘woke’ and ‘not normal’ which means something and carries an important message, and a novel written for the sake of the pandering rhetoric. It seems like the two are lumped together. I mean, they probably shouldn’t be, but that’s how it is.
I don’t see anything “weird” about The Color Purple or Beloved, in my opinion, though they both seem intense and challenging for casual readers, and that’s good in a way. These are the kinds of works that should be given awards because they have something worth discussing and have influenced people.

Trying to understand Isilynor’s character and the story overall is a bit challenging.
I am going to have to rethink a few things, because I really need to understand where I am going with this story and if it makes the most sense for not only me, but for anyone out there.
I’ve been thinking of this for the LONGEST time and I still can make literal sense of it, but I know that I want to write it.
I don’t know if this can be a Red Reign story, mainly because the title just doesn’t fit with what I am going with in the first place.
Hmm…

Thinking about how to make my story idea really make sense.
I’ve been thinking about this idea for many, many years and it still doesn’t make sense.
Not only that it is far more personal than Red Reign was suppose to be.
This story came from the far reaches of my mind that I don’t share often with people, even a professional.
Overall, Red Reign was suppose to showcase what those thoughts were, but the more I think harder on it, the more it becomes apparent.
Red Reign is another Soul of Crimson, meaning it was a title I thought sounded cool, but could not for the life of me come up with a plot for it. Hence why it had so many ideas in the first place.
So, I don’t think Red Reign can be suited for the story I am working on. The title no longer fits anymore. And I only like Red Reign because it sounds awesome, but there is no actual point for it.
So, I have a story, but no title and I hate that feeling.

I am working on two story projects call Nirvana and Tenth Night.
Since I do not have appropriate titles for them or rather one of them, I just gave them project name instead.
Man, the turnabout for Tenth Night is really stumping for because the major plot twist is really annoying me and I didn’t even start the story yet.
Ugh!

Now, I have a better outcome for Project Tenth Night, in terms of a major plot twist down the road.
There also needs to be supporting characters, because focusing only on my MC is boring and I need to focus on others who are just as important to the story, but are helping the MC as well.
