Technically, I DID NOT finish Red Reign as I originally thought.
I just finished a draft of Project Succession through experimentation. Red Reign is totally different from Project Succession in every way. So, I am working on draft three of Project Succession right now.
Red Reign is not finished, but I know how I want it to go. Going off a slight from draft two, I know what direction I want draft three to go for Project Succession.
I was happy to finish Red Reign when the fact is that I never truly did Red Reign. I just did a different version of Project Succession instead.
So, I am glad to be done with another draft for Project Succession, but it sucks because I am not done with Red Reign. Bummer!
I have to properly finish Red Reign like it was meant to be finished. No more revamps or changes because I know how I want it to go. It needs to be authentic and follow the goal.
I’m actually on the zero draft for Red Reign. I even gave it a slightly different title name for the story.
I gave Project Succession the roughest second draft I could and now I’m rewriting it in a third draft.
So, I now know how both stories need to go and what to do.
I’m a little disappointed, but just not entirely. I just chalk it up to giving Project Succession another draft that went in a totally different direction that I won’t be going into.
Thoughts and feelings?
