Hola chicos ☺️!
          
          Mission accomplished! After this intense venture in the world of mystery, I'm thrilled to announce that I've finished my ONC 2025 "Returnal"! 
          
          It's been my first foray into the *whodunnit* genre and an incredibly rewarding experience. I hope you will enjoy joining Rhiannon on her search for the truth in Gaffney!

          Now that "Returnal" is complete, get ready because I'll soon be visiting your profiles to read your wonderful creations! ✨
          
          Wishing you all lots of inspiration and happy writing! ✍️

Hola chicos! ☺️
          
          Give me an O! Give me an N! Give me a C!
          
          I'm, as every year, thrilled to be participating again!
          
          Over the past eight years on the platform, I have explored nearly every genre imaginable! xD
          
          I wrote fantasy, high fantasy, paranormal, science fiction, steampunk, litfic, romance, mafia romance, erotica, horror, historical fiction, poetry, short stories, micro narratives... It’s been quite a ride.
          
          The only genre I've never tried and that I have yet to conquer is… you guessed it: a murder mystery! 
          
          And what better time to dive in than ONC? It's the perfect opportunity to experiment and try something new.
          
          So, I'm excited to introduce "Returnal," my very first foray into the world of whodunnits! I hope you'll join me on this journey.

Hola chicos ☺️♥️
          
          I’ve just finished reading this amazing book written by @MarCafeWrites, titled  “The Countess and the Racketeer!”
          
          https://www.wattpad.com/story/349889492-ᴛ%CA%9Cᴇ-%E1%B4%84%E1%B4%8F%E1%B4%9C%C9%B4ᴛᴇ%EA%9C%B1%EA%9C%B1-ᴀ%C9%B4ᴅ-ᴛ%CA%9Cᴇ-%CA%80ᴀ%E1%B4%84ᴋᴇᴛᴇᴇ%CA%80
          
          Set in Manchester, England in the Roarin’ 20s, the novel tells a captivating story of an elegant, eloquent Countess, Rose Sinclair, and a rakish racketeer William (Liam) Mercer. 
          
          One unpredictable event, and wham! All of a sudden, Rose literally finds herself at Mercer’s mercy, in his employment no less, as inevitable sparks fly between the two. 
          
          This is a must-read. I thoroughly recommend you to dive right into this well-written historical fiction, if you are in a mood for an impeccably woven, air-tight plot, wonderfully realistic characters crafted with care, and slowburn romance.
          
          Don’t forget to put a lil star ⭐️ at the end of every chappy!
          
          Have an awesome Sunday, everyone ♥️

Hola chicos ☺️♥️
          
          My long time Wattpad friend @SuVida777 is participating in the Project Portal Contest created by Wattpad, and she has fashioned this gorgeous comic adaptation of “The Virus Within!”
          
          Ta-daaa! 
          
          https://www.wattpad.com/story/378093442-the-virus-within-the-comic
          
          The “Virus Within” is a post- apocalyptic brain-eating zombies book written by an excellent author, Crystal Scherer, which you should also give a read!
          
          The artwork is absolutely visually stunning, the tonalities match perfectly, and Su conveys action and emotions so well on her panels.
          
          Not to mention the fantastic atmospheric feel she manages to capture with ease. 
          
          This is a must-read. I thoroughly recommend you to dive right in, and don’t forget to put a lil star ⭐️ at the end of every chappy!
          
          Have an awesome Sunday, everyone ♥️

          Thank you to the judges for all their hard work, and of course, thank YOU, my dear readers of “Emerald Eyes” and fans of Liam and Alexandra.
          
          Everyone who has ever followed me and read "Emerald Eyes," gave me encouraging advice regarding the style, grammar, plot dynamism and characters.
          
          The writers and readers I had the opportunity to meet on Wattpad have become my friends, and what's more important, their feedback pushed me to move always forward, page after page until the very end.
          
          A GARGANTUAN congratulations too to all my fellow writers who both participated and made the shortlist as well!
          
          Shortlisters: I wish you luck to cross the finish line! 
          
          And to my other friends, don’t be disappointed if you did not make it this year. Judging is very subjective at times, and it does not mean your writing is not high-quality level! 
          
          I can’t wait to read your imaginative and creative stories you are writing now and/or will start writing, for ONC2025 is nigh!
          
          Love,
          Butterlyn ❣️
