All nine entries for the last week of the 100 Word Contest have been submitted and posted within 'Something Blue.' 
          	
          	It has been a crazy journey of pushing my own limits and finding myself being rewarded for doing so. Week 2's results were posted today, and I managed to score two 1st Place positions and one 2nd Place, out of a total of five entries!
          	
          	I'm excited to move focus back over to my ONC projects, but I'll be anxiously awaiting the final results of the 100 Word Contest. 
          	
          	I made my personal goal of submitting to every single category, a total of 20 entries, which amounted to 1,293 words. 7/20 entries were maxed out at 100 words and my shortest entry was 7 words. And to me, the most interesting stat, is that 8/20 entries were poems - something I embraced more with each week. 
          	
          	Keep in mind- there's still 10 days left to join! Take a chance and write something weird or experimental. Your muse is calling~

@katiegoesmew Thank you! It's especially strange to me that apparently I'm not completely hopeless as a poet, like I thought. That definitely opens up more opportunities.

@QuinceArchFortes Congratulations! It's always fun to challenge yourself and then get something out of it. :)

Chapter the Third is out for 'Love You Twice' and it is more gentle than I originally intended. Honestly, it's just the story leading me, but I'm grateful for an easier-to-digest scene. 
          
          I'm also one step closer to putting LYT on hold and deeming 'Fort GODSLAYER' as my primary. The main reason for this is because I intended LYT to be in first person, but that relies on having a prologue out of perspective (I do not write split POV) and prologues get skipped in the ONC, which would kind of ruin the rest of the story. 
          
          My thought is that I'm not behind, so I'll keep plugging away at it intermittently, but the long-term plan is to rewrite it in first person after the ONC. 
          
          In the meantime, I'm going to work on finishing up my entries for the last week of the 100 Word Contest - which I'm almost done with!! Not surprisingly, 'Humor' is giving me the most trouble </3

Hii. I recently joined Open Novella contest and I published book entitled Tendrils Of Grayhaven. Prompt 38: Jellyfish In Disguise. If you have a vacant time to read it. I highly appreciated it. Thanks and God bless 

Darkrai_X

@QuinceArchFortes I understand, oh well same to you. Good luck and God bless

QuinceArchFortes

@Darkrai_X I'm not sure you are looking for input from me. Your writing reads as heavily polished, so I'll have to pass, but good luck on your writing journey! Take your time and let it be an experience ✨

Both my ONC stories have been submitted for Round 1! ˚˖ִ໋❀
          
          I'm still incredibly motivated to write both, but with how slow I write I will have to drop one during March. It will most likely be whichever one I get inevitably stuck on, but I'd be interested to know if anyone's rooting for one story over the other?
          
          Speak now, or forever hold your peace ⚘

@paleverse @CarmenJohnson599 Even though neither of your answers help me form a sense of favoritism, I appreciate the input, and it confirms I have decent starts for both stories! It's hard when I have already romanticized the rest of the book in my head lol

Here I go with a second onc story. Thanks for adding Dom to your reading list! Hope you enjoy Isabelle and Dominic's romance!

Nyhterides

@QuinceArchFortes I can't believe I'm writing a second one! Have fun with the reading and writing!

QuinceArchFortes

@Nyhterides Congrats on starting another story! I've maxed out my reading (I've never followed so many stories at once lol) but I'll be sure to check out the first chapter sooner than later <3

Week 2 has begun for Raven’s Writing Challenge~
          
          Not only that, but I somehow placed in 4/6 categories for Week 1, which included my haiku ♡
          I'm floored by that, but I'm ready for a new round ☆
          
          Join in if you can - it's a super quick and fun event!
          I'll be taking a short break from my ONC projects so I can participate since they both sit comfortably beyond the 2k mark.

It's time to highlight something important about the way I post: I don't like spoilers, but I recognize that Wattpad is a place that is set-up to be very clear about triggers. 
          
          I ask that readers who might be new to my work pay close attention to the tags I use and what I mention for Content Warnings in my blurbs. I'm very honest about what to expect, but I like to do so discreetly. 
          
          I'm being blunt now because it took all of two chapters to get into some heavy themes in Love You Twice - and it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. Which it will. So, there's that to look forward to, but I felt the need to do a PSA before the upcoming chapter especially. 
          
          Thank you for coming to my TED Talk,
          Read safely <3

@QuinceArchFortes that’s fair enough I put it in my info page cause it’s easier for me :)

QuinceArchFortes

@Olivia_Benedetti I can't seem to bring myself to add anything within the book itself. I see a huge range of warning styles, but I have a hard time posting anything that isn't pure 'content.' I've grown to love adding extra graphics though!

WHAM! (∩˃o˂∩)♡
          
          I got another dedication! I actually meant to post this yesterday, but I went to bed super early. {As it turns out, if I get up early and stay up late *continuously,* even if I don't get any actual writing done, it makes me crash. So, now that the catch-up sleep is out of the way... maybe some words??}
          
          ~Back on track~
          
          If you have not checked out Rejected by the CEO Alpha Mafia Boss by @katiegoesmew you should go do so. The humor behind it will be something every Wattpad author can appreciate, and since it's by Katie, you know its quality is through the literal roof... and now we have a leak. (ꐦㅍ _ㅍ)

ONC season really is the time that I feel the most connection on Wattpad. I finally get the opportunity to read stories from people in my TBR, while cherishing new content from my favorites. There is so much support and so many good reads! 
          
          I'd like to give a shout-out to one of the stories I'm following: The Thirteenth Jem by @Nyhterides
          Not only is it a great story, but Christine was nice enough to dedicate a chapter to me! 
          
          I don't expect anything when I engage with people's stories - I'm just a really enthusiastic reader, but I also believe in celebrating when users go the extra mile to support the community <3
          
          
          If you enjoy hauntingly beautiful tales of broken creatures finding a second chance, then this story is for you!

@philouwrites Same ♡ I've only figured it out this year because my schedule with my girls has a designated reading time lol. We'll see what next year brings!

philouwrites

@quincearchfortes I feel the same about the ONC season. It’s the best time of the year to make new writer friends. I never manage to read as much of the other stories as I want though. I’m a very slow writer and I really have to balance writing and reading to make that deadline and when its all done, I’m so exhausted I need to disappear for a while :D but I wouldn’t miss it for the world

First chapter of my second ONC is posted! I'm going with 'creepy-punk' for the overall vibe~ Let me know what you guys think! 
          
          Big thank you to @CarmenJohnson599 for reading *immediately* after I posted ♡♡♡ I'm ever grateful for your support!
          
          And another thank you to everyone who has checked out Love You Twice, my sci-fi romance. Both projects are off to a bit of a slow start, but I'm happy with the plotting and introductory chapters ☆
