A delayed congrats to everyone who made it past Round 2 in the ONC!! I've read so many fabulous stories so far, it's hard to choose a favourite. <3 Good luck to everyone on hitting that 20k mark...completing the challenge is an accomplishment in itself!! <3

@JadedElegance Hi Alayna! I am sorry for dropping out of the blue here, I hope I am not coming off too dramatic but thank you for adding my story to your library! I'm still learning and I'll do my best to bring this story to its designated end.

Hello everyone!! 
          
          I've made it to the 8k mark (and slightly beyond!) on "Better Left Unwritten", my attempt at a novella in a *completely* different style than my usual dark, twisty, Gothic soap operas. *laughs* Please do check out the story and show some love, some comments, or just say hi! 
          
          Good luck to everyone else attempting to hit their Round 2 ONC goal! <3 You can do it!

Hello everyone!! 
          
          I've gotten my ONC entry in, a bit under the wire! You can always leave it to me to procrastinate. :D This story is a bit of a departure from the usual for me; a bit of a satire on my typical dark and dramatic style. If you're curious, check out "Better Left Unwritten" at https://www.wattpad.com/story/390423326-better-left-unwritten-onc-2025-entry
          
          Thanks to everyone who already added the story to their ONC library! I'll be peeking at everyone's stories and adding them to my own over the next few days. <3

Hello everyone!! :) 
          
          It's been forever since I've peeked over in this direction, and I'm happy to see so many familiar faces are still here and writing! <3 I'm thinking about returning to write an ONC entry, but I've always been artistically impaired---my ability to make my own covers is sub-basic. *laughs* 
          
          If you make covers or know anyone who does, please comment here!! Thanks and much love to all my Wattpad friends...I've missed you guys! <3

@MissCatLatte It has been!! I'm so happy to see you're still writing here, and part of the Ambassador team. I look back on the years I spent with them as a really creative time where I made a lot of friends. <3

@carolannewrites Absolutely fabulous to hear!! I'd love that, since I have NO idea what I'm doing! :D I'm not sure how people communicate on here anymore, since it seems the PM feature isn't around, but I'm waving back at you. *laughs* 
            
            @avadel EEEEE! It's so wonderful to see you're still here! <3 I'll remember to hop over and check them out--the name rings a bell from a long time ago. :)

"Life is short. Eat the doughnut." 
          
          This is the tagline that my roommate in Atlanta always used on his social media, and a wise sentiment. After my partner passed away, he helped save me and get through life in so many ways. Last summer, our landlord (who was a terrible slumlord) sold our house out from under us and left us with 60 days to find a place to live. 
          
          I ended up packing up everything I owned and moving to California. He bought a condo nearby and began working full-time in the film industry. The fact that he was living the life he always wanted to live, on his own terms, it inspired me a great deal. 
          
          Today, I found out he passed away, an unforeseen complication due to a routine medical procedure. I am broken-hearted, and a writer who has no words.

I’m so sorry to hear that, my condolences on your loss

My second week in the Write To Rank competition already has me struggling with editing out imagery I love to meet word count! *laughs* Word count is my nemesis, but hopefully this style of storytelling will help me focus on Stephen King-approved prose. (no unnecessary adverbs!) ;) Please check out my entry here:

@JadedElegance gosh, I feel called out! I had been trying so hard to evolve my style as well!

Hello RP friends! I'm not one who is fond of advertising anything on my message board, since I have friends interested in a wide variety of things on here--but this particular story requests a message board shout-out to participate. 
          
          If you've been looking for a literate group RP, check this one out! I don't usually participate in stories with teenage characters, but the plot for this one was different enough to grab my attention! :

It has been forever since I've done anything on Wattpad, but you all know I love this place, and I haven't been doing a lot of writing that is just my own (not for clients) the past two years. I'm going to give myself a little kick to do something new by joining the Write To Rank competition, hosted by the @action profile. Since my writing style and my natural strengths don't really match up with the Action genre, it'll be interesting to challenge myself to try something new--and am maybe not quite so good at doing. :P 
          
          Temporarily, entries are located in my contest book. If I continue with the project, I'll make a new book for my stories. :) https://www.wattpad.com/1351955556-amaranthine-beauty-within-darkness-write-to-rank

@Avadel YAAAAY! You guys are still here! It's great to see you again too! :) 
            
            @fireheather Likewise! I will definitely give your entries a read, also! :) 
            
            @Lavender_Queen_ Awww! You're very sweet. I never have much time for writing, but definitely want to try to make it more of a priority! <3

WOW, the description of the Immortally Beloved just really appeals to me and seems to contain many elements I
          am interested in. Mark this for now and thank you Alayna-Renee for writing such a wonderful story ~ I'll write a long review when I've finished it hahaha!

JadedElegance

@LiebeKlara Thank you so much! It's currently undergoing editing (it needs a LOT of that, but first drafts always do!), but I hope you enjoy the story! <3
