Sounds interesting though 
I’m steadily editing two stories actively, and one inside my head.
I decided that I was being way too overdramatic with LHSB and what happens to Pinti that she ends up ditching home sweet home and launches into the unknown world in search of an artifact that may or may not help her.
There’s a few things that can make her leave:
1: Her powers, without proper training, explode or spark without warning, and one devastating event affects the entire community (at the same time, saving them from an Ilvagi attack). If she remains with uncontrolled powers, she could be a danger. She decides to leave to save her clan and search for the truth of her powers and past. She promises to return.
2: After a devastating attack that kills many, her injured father sends her to find the leader of the world to talk to and to help free them from the Ilvagis. He helps her escape. She promises to return.
Pinti will also leave if it means saving her sister. So,
3: Tendri is kidnapped by Ilvagis for no reason that can be explained. Pinti decides to go after them but also knows she can’t fight them.
My overdramatic one is this:
4: Ilvagis attack for no reason. Her entire clan dies. Pinti, burning with revenge, goes to search for something to enhance her powers to destroy Ilvagis and decides to trust strangers.
I’m thinking of somehow weaving 1, 2, and 3 together. The common thing among them is that Pinti is the new leader of the clan, and she was found abandoned, no one knows where she came from, and her lunar magick is growing instead of fading like everyone else’s, but she still needs a boost from a moonstone to get all her powers (one of the reasons she leaves).
Trying not to overcomplicate it

Awesome 
I’m starting to think this first draft is more like “draft 1.5” with the amount of scene edits I’ve done without it being finished
Still making progress into Chapter 26 though!

I’m wondering if I need to keep this aspect from Project Succession in the story because when I think about it, it honestly makes no sense to keep it there.
Another thing is having this character here makes no sense either. This means I have to change the entire story as well.
I need to think about what Project Succession needs as a story.

Good news: I’ve almost finished editing QOD
Bad news: I have no idea where to start for book 4, and have been staring at the blank pages for it and 2 short stories for like a month now

I wrote one sentence today. It took one hour. I think it’s good enough.
Their sheen is so brilliant that it makes the very rays of Heaven’s light waver.

When you want to write, but people keep bugging you, and you have things that have to be done later in the day, like seeing my mom in the hospital. Yup she’s back in

Does anyone ever make characters to move a plot along or get more out of the main character conflict and development wise after they’ve started writing their story?

Yay!!
My stories change a lot when I do that. Glad I didn’t over-plan and I let it develop naturally when it fits.

I’m starting to draw more now. I took out my sketchbook for the first time in a year and started to make a new character.
His name is Chango—well his real name is Romeo—but no one under the age of fifty calls him that.

I got some writing done earlier, but I plan to go back to it in a bit.

Oh yes, characters sometimes jump out of nowhere and decide to insert themselves.
I had a character who was just going to be mentioned by name and later in the newspaper, but then he ended up deciding to make an appearance. Terry Dan Brownhill, welcome to the stage Now that he’s appeared, I have to let him talk
