Raven's Heir | ONC 2021 honourable mention
Sandrine is reluctant to take the job as a ghost hunter, despite her ancestral gift. And when she meets her boss and future partners, every fibre of her being tells her to quit-but she needs the money. How hard can it be to dispel the ghost of a bird? Soon, she finds herself fighting the advances of a medieval playboy, targeted by a flock of ectoplasmic ravens, and trying to solve the puzzle of the cottage in the lake. With disaster waiting around the corner, she truly has no time for a budding romance, right? ~ ~ ~ My entry for the open novella contest 2021. Prompts: No 5: There is a terrible drought ravaging the land, but when the waters recede from the local lake/reservoir, they reveal something no one expected to find. No 64. What should have been a simple task for a trio of ghost hunters quickly becomes something for which the term 'Worst Case Scenario' is the mother of all understatement. No 61. I would've lived longer if it weren't for Lorraine. There's only one issue... who's Lorraine?

Wake Up ||ONC 2021|| GxG
It hadn't occurred to Esme that she should be suspicious of her parents, they were just ordinary people after all. But when an unknown number won't stop texting her, the questions start coming. Was the accident really the cause of her amnesia? Why did her parents speak five languages suddenly? How was it that Esme could suddenly assemble and disassemble guns? Who exactly was Agent 23? Maybe one of these days she could get back to her sappy daydreams of her incredible coworker. That itself seemed like a dream.Complete
The Standouts - A Critique Contest by PAULAPDX (Summer 2019 Edition)
🛑 - CLOSED until 2021. ***If you're interested in my critiques, you might want to check out my weekly newsletter for opportunities to get a personalized critique. https://paula.substack.com/p/coming-soon Does your work stand out in an overly-crowded landscape? Does your story & writing shine as far as: ★ - Concept ★ - Voice ★ - Storytelling The Standouts is a fun, but hopefully helpful contest that can give you a sense of whether your story resonates with someone who's got some experience under her belt. Great! But who are you to judge? Fair question. This is not to humble-brag, but I've been critiquing and have worked with story development for quite some time, and I've picked up a lot along the way. ☙ - As an Ambassador, I work on content projects. ☙ - If you look at my profile, you'll see everything I've published so far has managed to standout in one way or another, whether by leading me to become a Wattpad Star; or by winning a Watty (twice!); or by being picked as a Top 10 in major Wattpad contests (twice!); or being featured. All I'm saying is I'm no slouch. I'm not brilliant either. But I've got some experience around what can catch an agent, editor, or judge's eye, and I'd like to share that with the community. ☙ - In another lifetime, I used to work for HBO in Development and at ICM (the talent agency) in their writers' department which means I understand how professionals quickly gauge whether or not they'll take a closer look at a work and/or make an offer. This kind of insight can be helpful if you're planning to submit your work or even just want to stand out more here on Wattpad. ☙ - I used to provide critiques for three writers, all of them traditionally published. They seemed to value my insight. Read the RULES, LOGISTICS & PRIZES chapter for guidelines. All entries get a brief assessment of their first chapter, with winners getting more extensive critiques. Sound interesting? Give it a go! 😊Complete
The Writer In You: Begin your story. Claim your voice.
You're not "not a writer." You're just stuck in the part nobody warns you about. You've got scenes in your head. Lines that hit you in the shower. A whole book living in your chest-pressing on your ribs like it wants OUT. And then... you open a blank page and freeze. You overthink. You edit. You doubt. You promise "tomorrow." Tomorrow turns into months. Months turn into years. That ends here. The Writer In You: Begin your story. Claim your voice. isn't a fluffy "believe in yourself" pep talk. It's a quick, real-life guide built for busy, overwhelmed people who still want to finish something that matters. Inside, you'll learn how to: -start writing even when you don't feel ready -break writer's block and stop waiting on motivation -capture ideas the second they show up (before life steals them) -draft without self-sabotage (no more editing while writing!) -build a simple writing routine you can actually keep -turn your emotions into pages that feel honest, vivid, and powerful -stop abandoning your work, and finish your story If you're on Wattpad, you already know the truth: *The world rewards the writers who show up. Not the writers who "plan" to show up. So if you're scrolling because you're avoiding that blank page... THIS IS YOUR SIGN. Begin your story. Claim your voice.
