@Luis_Storyteller Thank you for following back. Nice to meet you too. Enjoy your time with your child. It's such a different story when they're older!

Hello friends,
          
          I hope your week is running smoothly.
          
          It's Labor Day in France today, so no work for me!
          
          I thought I'd check in to give you a few updates:
          
          I finished both ONC stories and entered them for the 3rd round. I gotta say, I don't think I'll ever enter two stories again. It was so stressful towards the end. I had to write the last 7 chapters of HER HOMELESS BOSS  in a single day. I trimmed here and there; I didn't have time to beta read. I woke up this morning and read. Some dialogue tags are missing, and there are a few typos. I'm livid, I can't modify because it's submitted.
          
          Honestly, I was going to give up on it, but then I thought, just do it—never mind, you can always clean it up once the results are out. It clearly deserved 10 more chapters. Anyway, fingers crossed.
          
          With my entries now submitted, I'm excited to return to my usual updates. I'll start drafting today and plan to begin publishing next week.
          
          On a related note, I've also decided to bring BORROWED SKIES to this account. Yes, I'm serving you the full-length novel on a tray here. Bon appétit! It's a story I really want to share with you. For those who have read the ONC entry, there will be a few changes, notably more swapping episodes. The ONC version will remain on the other account.
          
          Lastly, I got the opportunity to be interviewed by 
          @chicklit for NEW GROWTH. You can find the interview here:

          I’m very thankful, it was a nice experience :) I hope more readers will give NEW GROWTH a chance.
          
          Well, that's all from this little writer.
          
          Take care!

@AmariOkito Congratulations! I enjoyed the interview. I’m looking forward to reading the books covered.

Hi friends,
          
          Hope you're having a great week.
          
          I'm on a tight rope; I've got one week to finish the drafts for Her Homeless Boss. I finished those for Borrowed Skies. 
          
          I've been beta-reading both drafts. I don't know what either entry is worth, but my main goal is to meet the deadline. The furthest I've gotten on the ONC was the long list, so I'm hoping for the best.
          
          As you know, I'm also rewriting Tracksided, which is now called Sinking Ashore. The story has shifted to third-person past simple, which I feel is much stronger than my first-person attempt.
          
          I know most of you are waiting for updates. Please bear with me for 7 more days. I'll bake the chapters you deserve.
          
          I want to thank @Ola1046 and @petalandsnowink for reading and supporting my ONC stories. I'm sure other writers will agree that there's nothing worse than writing and not seeing the reader's reaction. Your comments are heartwarming.
          Without forgetting @ahemarr, thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed WHEN YOU HEAL!
          
          Okay, everyone, give me a week, and I'll deliver!
          
          Take care,
          
          Amari

Hello friends,
          
          How was this Monday?
          
          Mine was a busy one, like always.
          
          I have some great news to share. I'm still on my ONC mission. Both stories made it to round 3.
          I'm so shocked, HER HOMELESS BOSS is even a round 1 winner!
          
          Now I've got to finish both stories, so fingers crossed.
          
          Btw, congratulations to everyone who made it to the 3rd round of this year's ONC. Good luck for this last month!
          
          Regarding updates, you have fresh bits in the following:
          - Margot In the Making
          - Ray was Here
          - Sinking Ashore on @AmOkDrama
          - Borrowed Skies on @AmOkDrama
          - and Her Homeless Boss on @AmOkDrama
          
          Enjoy!

          That's all from me, I'm heading back to those drafts.
          
          Take care!

@AmariOkito I’m not surprised. HHB is a great concept well conceived. I’m so invested in their story and can’t wait to see the plot unfold and I’m curious about their romance, if any. I hope it goes all the way!

Hey friends,
          
          How are things going?
          
          I just burnt the cake in Love In The Baking! Callum isn't smiling much.

          You'll have to wait for the next chapter to see if the cake can be fixed ;)
          
          Don't hesitate to visit @AmOkDrama. I'm still writing for ONC2026. My entries are on that page. I entered both BORROWED SKIES and HER HOMELESS BOSS for round two. Please wish me luck!
          
          Okay, take care, everyone!

Hey friends,
          
          I hope you had a good start to the week.
          
          I know it was yesterday, but Happy Women's Day!
          
          Just wanted to give you a heads up on what I'm up to:
          
          Both BORROWED SKIES and HER HOMELESS BOSS made it to the first round of this year's ONC, so I'm writing to submit them for the 2nd round. You can check them out on my other account, @AmOkDrama, if you're curious or want to support me.
          
          Congrats to all the first round qualifiers of ONC2026 :)
          
          @Identityandculture has curated a reading list titled "Every Shade Of She-March 2026." If you're looking for fresh reads, don't hesitate to check it out!
          
          Some of you might have noticed that I republished SEXLESS under a new name and cover. I'm rewriting it and will be updating it regularly, just like Ray Was Here. I'm really happy with the story's new direction and hope you'll enjoy this new version.
          
          I know some of you are waiting for updates on ongoing stories. Please bear with me, I really want to finish my ONC stories first.
          
          If you're looking for some good romance, fantasy, or comedy, here are some writers I recommend:
          
          @EliBees
          @VibesWithLex
          @M00ma
          @ErinTink
          @petalandsnowink
