Linestrider is a very pro-new-project deck, fittingly enough. I did a two-card do/don't reading for you, since it seemed fitting to the question:
Do: Three of Swords. Betrayal, pain, being left or separated from. In context, what I think this means is: You know the old writing advice, "kill your darlings"? I don't know if the project in mind is a writing one, but adapt that to whatever you are doing. You might be tempted to hold onto something because you particularly like it, because it was part of the inception of the idea, because you really wanted it to work -- but don't get so tripped up trying to force something to work that really isn't. Be aware of where you have to let go.
Don't: Two of Wands. Open paths, opportunity, new ventures. There are two options for what this might be saying: One is that it'd be easy to get distracted by something else that's new and shiny before you're done with the project at hand (or maybe that this is the new and shiny, and don't forget to wrap up what you were working on before). Don't be distracted by all the roads around you -- focus on the one in front of you. This card has also come up in readings before in context of being so spoiled for choice that you don't end up choosing anything. Don't get distracted trying to see so far down every possible path that you never choose one at all. Pick the best path in front of you, or hell, if there's nothing quite suitable, forge your own way -- just don't get stuck and never choose at all.
Both very general pieces of advice, I'm afraid, but I hope something helps, and good luck.
