It's Monday, and that means it's time for your Monday KYD Writing Prompt!

This KYD: Kill Your Darlings weekly writing prompt comes from a term used on the battlefield.

The fog of war  

Here's Wikipedia on the term to spark your ideas:

The fog of war is the uncertainty in situational awareness experienced by participants in military operations.^[1] The term seeks to capture the uncertainty regarding one's own capability, adversary capability, and adversary intent during an engagement, operation, or campaign. Military forces try to reduce the fog of war through military intelligence and friendly force tracking systems.

The term has become commonly used to define uncertainty mechanics in wargames.

One month to go on this year's Volume 42 Contest conclusion. Don't miss out. Last chance to WIN, WIN, WIN!

All the beast!

P.S.: 999,000 views on this Super Secrets of Writing thread! We're about to hit 1 million! Thank you to all that have followed along!  

A record milestone! My Super Secrets of Writing project to help emerging writers hit 1 million views today!

I started this after I won Writers and Illustrators of the Future to help writers craft tighter stories based on solid writing principles. The award-winning results of those following my Super Secrets speak for themselves. And my runaway bestseller How to Write a Howling Good Story came from this project.

Thank you to Writers of the Future for creating this wonderful contest. And thank you to all that have followed and supported what I do to help writers. I appreciate you!✍️💜🌟

And thank you, Michelle Diaz, for capturing this image when it happened!😊

I hope you're having a great Labor Day Weekend. I'm off to listen and dance to an outdoor concert to say farewell to summer, but not before I provide your KYD: Kill Your Darlings Monday writing prompt!

Sensory overload

Exactly what I hope to happen while taking in the sights, sounds, smells, tastes (don't check what's in my "water" bottle), and sensations of a trippy outdoor concert!

GO WILD WITH THIS! CRAZY CAN BE GOOD!

Exactly one month to go on Q4 and the end of the contest year for Volume 42. Plenty of time to write A FRESH NEW STORY FOR THE WIN!

All the beast!

Beastmaster Moon

Thanks for the prompt, @wulfmoon! Enjoy your concert. 😊

After I won Writers of the Future, I wrote the Super Secrets of Writing right here under this heading to help emerging writers advance their writing skills, sell their stories, and win awards. One million views later, I still write the Super Secrets, but now it's for professional magazines like DreamForge, Story Unlikely, and of course, my own publications. But never fear! I will still bring them here! I am committed to helping emerging writers succeed. It's my heartfelt mission, just as it's the heartfelt mission of Writers of the Future.

Here's the latest. Combine this one on The Epiphany with the one in the prior issue on The Dark Night of the Soul for maximum thrust!

To your continued success!
