Struggling to figure out Project Red AND Project Succession.
UPDATE: I was able to figure out Project Red better. Still, stuck with Project Succession though.

The spinning slashes protected it from damage for the most part until a few bullets broke through its defence and continued to rock its world. I let the dragon breathe as the barrels spun, allowing smoke and brimestone to billow.

I had a dream about an idea for Project Pawn and have been really thinking about the title of the story, while I was trying to sleep and even when I was able to get to sleep.

I like all this alliteration, assonance, rhymes madness happening here. You’re a poet.
spinning, slashes, protected, bullets, broke through, rock, breathe, barrels spun, allowing smoke, brimestone, billow.
Very cool.

Editing, editing, editing…holding off writing new things until November, so when I get to it, I can write up a storm
Sometimes, the more I edit, for some stories, the less I know what I’m doing XD

I’ve been writing ideas for the chapters in Project Red.
I have not started writing the chapters yet or rather the prologue yet.
I’m still planning things.

The Skeletal Knights wrapped their bladed whips around the sealing jug, ensuring nothing could escape. As they hopped off their mounts, shields raised, they held the jug between them, not taking their vacant eyes off it.

Share: I’ve been going to Write Night for almost two months now, and it’s been fun every time! I now have one familiar face I can look forward to seeing again now, hopefully more to come! 
The latest prompt we did was inspired by a show that the host was watching, I don’t remember the name, maybe it was Twin Peaks? Whatever it was. We were supposed to write about a good cup of coffee and a slice of cherry pie, and my friend and I exchanged glances—neither of us were coffee drinkers 
So folks, behold, a non-coffee-drinker’s attempt at churning out a coffee-centered scene with only ten minutes to write everything out.
I wait on the couch as my friend scuffles from one part of his kitchen to the next, searching for beans and other ingredients like a madman. His narrowed eyes don’t leave his work for even a split second. The rough crunch of the grinder cuts through the air as he extracts a fine powder from his beans, and a machine whirs as it prepares hot water.
“Whatcha making?” my roommate asks, her feet up on the coffee table as she helps herself to a slice of cherry pie.
The hobbyist barista prepares his cup before he replies, “Coffee.”
“From the way you’re going about it, looks like you’re cooking a feast.”
“Good coffee takes time, okay?”
A forkful of pie silences my roommate for a second. She blurts out, “So, are you gonna add whipped cream, or…”
“No, I’mma drink it straight.”
“Not even some caramel?”
“This isn’t Starbucks!”
“But I like Starbucks!”
“Yeah, and you think anything fancier than Applebee’s is fine dining.”
I snort at his reply. My roommate rolls her eyes and returns her attention to snacking.
Minutes later, the master distills his elixir into a single cup, steam rising from the darkness. He holds it up. Blows it a little. Then he sips, savoring each sip of acid and caffeine like a sommelier sampling wine.
I shared it with my writing group of the night after the ten minutes was over, and the first thing they said was that I wrote a lot for ten minutes I guess I’m just built different like that.
Progress: I’ve finished and uploaded Chapter LV of Blood Will Tell, and I’m at least a third of the way with Chapter LVI! I hope I’ll be able to wrap up Act II soon. I wonder how many chapters this book will end with

I finished part one of the prologue and shall start part two tomorrow.
I wanted to give it two parts instead of more. A prologue shouldn’t be too long in my opinion.
…Or is it the opinion of others affecting me.
Who can say?

I have to rewrite things because I’m not liking it. Project Red needs a total rewrite from the prologue to the first chapter.
I do not mind doing that.

Why do you need a prologue? ¯\_(ﭢ)_/¯

Because I just do. It fits with the story.

I haven’t touched Project Succession in weeks. I’ve been so focused on Project Red that I haven’t thought about Project Succession.
Maybe that is a good thing.

Dear editor, don’t rhyme because. Rhyme in context, thanks.
And idk why she thought it would be good to bring in the “serpent of temptation” into one of my poems when I don’t want anything to point to any specific belief in my poems.
I guess it was interesting she thought that was what I was going for, but perhaps she should have asked it first? I did ask her if she needed anything from me to work on the editing. I’d never had poetry formally edited, so I didn’t know any better 
Anyway, I have two poems that might have to change big time and she’s suggesting a full rewrite which is understandable because those two specific ones were written for the collection and hence, are close to first drafts.
But I don’t want to lose the meaning of the poems. If I choose a different structure, that could potentially happen. But idk until I start editing.
Bleh.
