So, we're going to shift gears. I want to finish The Lost Sentinel but if I'm being honest with myself I'm not sure it's quite there yet. I lost the spark and I'm working to get it back. So we're going to put it on pause and I'm going to briefly switch gears and share a little bit of my Lucley serial aka....(scroll)

Shawna: Meh ?!
CPShawna: It doesn't convey the new genre you are working in with this
Shawna: Okay...well, what do yo have in mind ?
Shawna: Wait...why did we make another cover image ?
CPShawna: ....procrastination is a hell of drug
The Process
Something that has been throwing me off about my latest serial (TLS, Pulse and Future!Vice) attempts is that I'm writing them as one big document and not as individual chapters like I did with everything else. In some ways it's easier but it also make "milestones" hard. I'm not thinking in chapters anymore which makes it hard to write ahead. I don't think I could have written Compulsion this way with all the POVs but I definitely like having the big document for searching purposes and I like to see the word count tick up.
Pulse is currently 16,000 words and all I can think about is those writing zones I'd go into during UL and pop out 10,000 word chapters!
Future!Vice
I am having so much fun writing this and I cannot wait to share it. I re-read Vice for it and it wasn't as cringy as I thought it would be. Vice is so much what I wanted it to be and I haven't quite been able to master that cyberpunk edge ever since. Pulse has a real light cyberpunk touch and Future!Vice is even lighter.
Pulse
This takes place a year after Sweet Prince. I tried to write it in a way that it doesn't need a recap but here's a quick refresher:
Haley works at Control, a private no limits sex club inside Jean Dory's brothel,Virtue, to pay for a hit on Maxwell.When Rayne Washington dies Haley fears the terms of his hit might be renegotiated so he tries to do it himself but fails and gets Twyla Banner--Luce's sister implicated. The Cartel negotiates with Maxwell to give him a multi million dollar campaign donation in exchange for Twyla and Haley's unofficial pardon. Sara wants Twyla to stay in the safe house just in case but instead Twyla goes off with her best friend/new girlfriend Colette and Haley goes back to the club where he is working to payback his new debt to the cartel.
Also, after the failed assassination attempt Luce and Haley makeout and decide they'd like to keep doing that and start a consenting dominant/submissive relationship.
