For the last and final chapter of Project Succession, I am going to have to start it Monday.
Why? Because I need a tiny break to prepare myself for the end. I still got world-build Alagossia and things of that nature, though that can wait.
I went back to StoryPlotter app to do everything before going back to the second drafting stage once I am done with the final chapter.
So, that is all I have to say.

I like how I’ve somehow expanded this story from 76k to 114k just by ensuring all the plot threads and world building is actually in the story. 
Draft six, here we go… 
We’re actually in place plot-wise at this point, though, finally. Just gotta actually go over all the scenes themselves.

Oh my gosh, I got rid of the Epilogue.
I don’t like having prologues or epilogues if I can help it, so it was nice.
Btw, giving a respectful nod to The Lion and the Unicorn by Lewis Carroll (you don’t have to know it), I tried my own version:
A Lion and A Unicorn
A lion and a unicorn were crying on a hill.
The horn had lost its unicorn, so sent for Lookwig Bill.
When Bill arrived, he could not find a mane or mighty roar.
So, he played the plums and boiled drums, but it was such a bore.
A hedgehog and a dodo were fighting with a jig.
The mojo had lost its dodo, so sent for Marcie Pig.
When Marcie came, she played a game with pastries and doors.
She freed the tea into the sea as it was such a bore.
It’s so ridiculous XD
Btw, this style of rhyming is such a brain exercise.
And this one, too. This time a nod to my favorite, the Walrus and the Carpenter, and a little reference to The Hunting of the Snark 
“The Gryphon and the Raven went hunting for a Snark,
and during dawn came upon a cave of too much dark.
The Raven flinched and shuddered when he heard the sound
of a tick-tock of the Rabbit’s watch echoing all around.
The Gryphon, who was once a knight, passed his frightened friend,
and set forth into a tunnel with many twists and bends.
There’s so much more of this poem. It was such a brain exercise.

I did a little bit of world-building, but not enough though.
I’m going to have to do more tomorrow. I would read, but the dinner I had would force me to sleep, since I am feeling sleepy.
Nothing else to add.

I did it! I finally made a tribute to “All in the golden afternoon”, the opening poem in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland 
All in the golden afternoon / So leisurely we glide… is how the original begins.
Two-Thirty Soon
All silver arms of the clocks,
So leisurely they glide.
Not a single student looks upon,
The blackboards filled with lines.
Such cyphers and incomprehensible codes,
Bring headaches to their minds.
But it will be two-thirty and soon,
They can finally rise.

I got it now. I think I got it now.
A lion and a unicorn were crying on a hill.
The horn had lost its unicorn, so sent for Lookwig Bill.
When Bill arrived, he could not find a mane or mighty roar.
He played the plums and boiled drums, but it was such a bore.
A hedgehog and a dodo bird were fighting with a jig.
The mojo lost its dodo, so it sent for Marcie Pig.
When Marcie came, she played a game with pastries, clocks, and doors.
She freed the tea into the sea as it was such a bore.

Sometimes I surprise myself with what I can write:
Wobbling a little on sea legs, the newly disembarked passengers climbed a rickety stone staircase to the top of Little Bear Rock. From there, the view was spectacular. Beyond man’s land, one could see as far as the horizon, and the tiny ships that seemed unmoving on the dark blue sea. The wooden docks directly below slinked and curved around ships or angled off to the side to kiss the ocean.

Three things to mention that needs to be tackled with my writing:
-
Answering the bunch of world-building questions that I have for alagossia.
-
Figure what I want to do with project bloodline and make it shorter than project succession.
-
Think about project succession as a novel series.
Bonus 4. Ask myself questions and loads of them for project succession on everything pertaining to plot, characters, subplots, pacing, and more.
I got start project succession on July 2 and get other things done beforehand.
