Update Link: Warning Shots – Part 4

Happy Monday 🙂 I think we’re all in the mood for a small break from the angst, lol. I hope you guys are strapping in because I’ve been breaking down The Tortured Poet’s Department, and like, the angst level is off the charts. I also am getting lots of inspiration for what *might* be somewhat longer stories than the snippets of folklore. I think the longest story there is 4k (“exile”). I broke down the first 16 songs with some thoughts about what I might write. I think I’m actually breaking the album into four short story collections because otherwise I will be writing 31 stories until I die and will drown in the angst, ha.

A note on Warning Shots – this first part of the story is very episodic because I really just wanted to create a backstory that would launch us into the real chunk of the story. I’m probably going to give the second part of the story a new title because that one will feel much more like a traditional story, with a more linear narrative. There are eight “episodes” and then I’ll be moving onto the second part. It will still be much lighter than Chain Reaction, just because Liason at this point is just lighter. They’re not bogged down in everything that complicates them later.

And in my last piece of good news — I am making huge strides in my evermore feature, “no body, no crime” which was inspired by a prompt from Tania 🙂 It’s written in the style of “The Last Time” with 45 scenes. I’ve written 21 of them and it’s at about 12k, so I think maybe another 10-12k for this. I’m hoping to have that for you by the first week of May! If you have any ideas for any Crimson Swift stories, please don’t hesitate to let me know!
