I really do like your story, I am a writer as well, and I admire you for your achievement as a watty winner, I don't know if you would mind, but I wanted to ask, how did you submit to the wattys, I heard that it's through story detail page,but I don't have a story detail page, only table of contents, any advice on why it's like that and how to eliminate it 

Thanks to the generosity of Houston Mayor John Whitmire, via the Mayor's Office of Cultural Affairs, and the Houston Arts Alliance  , the rest of 2025 will be devoted to the completion of my current novel and the writing and illustration of my upcoming graphic novel!

Hi @IdrisGrey it's nice to see you stand your ground do you have any tips to write an impacting novel I wrote two books but really wanna write my first novel not sure how to start it or what to call it

In anticipation of the Spooky Season, I'm writing a horror story to get my ghosts and goblins on.
          
          SHE ATE MY HEART is Jennifer's Body meets the classic horror film Halloween (1978), except these final girls are Black, queer, and more than a little dangerous all by themselves. 
          
          Jaela (JL) Thompson and Heron Prescott are twentysomething paranormal investigators exploring the abandoned, rusted-out corners of their former steel mill town, Mortland, Ohio. Between JL's overnight shifts in the Mortland Hospital morgue and Heron's ride-share and food delivery business, the former high school besties only get to spend time together on their weekend jaunts to the condemned mines and mills that once kept Mortland fed and are starving the shabby post-industrial town to death now they're gone. But suddenly, the bodies are piling up in the streets, and the police can't catch what they can't see. It's time for Mortland Supernatural's finest to take a swing at the case. Every now and then, it takes a monster to catch a monster. Or maybe even two.

hii just wanted to say girls chase girls is currently my favorite gxg book right now I really loved it ahhh omg I gotta read more of your books!
