Progression is being made and I am being so happy with the story going the way it is, leaving me curious about the editing and how the second book will possibly turn out.
Pretty soon, Project Succession is going to need a proper title for the book series. I am honestly, thinking that two books for this is going to work out better. The second book can be a few chapters longer than the first book.
I am going to go with a simple title for Project Succession, since this is just for my eyes only.
Probably going to just go with The Succession Trials: The Forgotten and the Chosen Throne | Book 1.
Simple and I love it!

I found the Cay story, and I am genuinely enjoying looking through it, and I’ve added some more words to it. Could this also be a Wattys contender alongside G and Destiny? I was thinking of putting Cay as a Complete Entry and Destiny and G as an Ongoing Entry, what do you guys think? I’m getting along nicely with the Cay story but Destiny is taking time. @Qualeshia12 @TheTigerWriter @Akje @NotARussianBot @J.L.O and anyone else who wants to answer, go ahead.

Do you have enough time to work on two stories simultaneously, though? If not, I’d focus on the Cay story since you seem more excited about that one. Otherwise, using Cay as a complete entry and Destiny and G as ongoing sounds good! (*＾-‘) 乃

a couple beta readers now have asked about the specific names of the (abandoned) cities in the earlier chapters of GH and i genuinely don’t understand why, it’s stressing me out a little.
it might be because i wasn’t super clear about the initial setting being the prairies. i fixed that but it was after i sent out copies to be read. but now i don’t know if it was enough of a fix, or if that was even the problem to begin with.
Listen, I know the city in question is Kindersley, I did the google maps math to make the travel time right. But I also left the name out on purpose, because I find it jarring when people drop real lesser-known place names in a spec-fic story.
i’ll look at it again tomorrow i guess, maybe i’m just too tired lol
u-u gonna start labelling their location by treaty. u wanna know where they are? treaty 7 territory

Finished Chapter 6, Part 4 at 2058 words, but it is fine, since the next part is going to be longer than this one.
I am done with chapter 29, I am moving onto chapter 30.
Once I am done with chapter 30, I start chapter 7, part 1. Chapter 7 is that last chapter in this first book’s first draft.
Oh my gosh and I am too excited!

I guess it’s the race to 50k. The first story I get to 50k, I’m entering it into the Wattys as a Completed Story. @Akje @NotARussianBot @Qualeshia12

I’m already over 90k and on chapter 29. I got six chapters left.
Five once chapter 29 is done and finished.

do y’all have any examples of a “convenient inconvenience” that I can use like a noun? I want to swap out “bad videogame character” in this line because it keeps confusing people.
“Buddy’s a bad videogame character,” True whispered to Ragdoll. They hoped that was all he would be. A convenient inconvenience.

I can see what you’re trying to say in that sentence, but I can’t think of a better way to say it. Maybe Merriam Webster can help…? ¯\_(ﭢ)_/¯

Yep, Eryn, that is pretty dumb
So, she stood up as best as she could on the cushions and looked Esrelda straight in the eye as best as she could without bursting into frustrated tears. “Why is a raven like a writing desk?”
“That’s wrong,” Esrelda said matter-of-factly. “It’s supposed to be why does Raven like a writing desk and the answer is simple. Because he writes stories. He kept it secret because he was afraid his friends and family would hate him for it because he’s a Wizliewog.”
Eryn stood there dumbfounded because it really was pretty dumb.
Idk how I come up with these things. What the heck is a Wizliewog XD

The first time Quartz properly talks to Eryn, he gets nervous, so this happens when trying to explain his magick:
“It’s called Exsercio. To restore or recreate what used be right there and, I mean, what used to exist. Last long when I want it to last. I mean, it lasts as long as I want it to last.” Quartz removed his mask to reveal a pale face with dark green, shaggy hair. “In Middland no abilities like such that you have? I mean, I believe you don’t have abilities like such in Middland, I believe?”
Getting such a kick out of him XD

I need to search when I started working on Project Succession back when it was named something else, like when it was Project Summoner or something along those lines.
Once I finish I would like to know when exactly my journey began up to when I am done with Chapter 7, Part 5.
I did some of chapter 7, part 1 and need to finish up tomorrow when I can.
Nothing else to report.

5K is really good start, and the other is an uphill battle the whole way. So the other factor is the fight in the dog.
