Hii all!
          If anyone is participating in the ONC 2025, please do share your book links here. I really need some guidance and inspiration on how to go about it. It's my first time participating in this contest so yeaah.. (im finally out of my writing slump yayy) i already have a new story idea brimming, and its related to mental health (and its a very good idea, i really want to write about it), but I'm finding it challenging to incorporate the ONC prompts in it because none of them are based on mental health topics. 
          Should i perhaps change the theme of my story? I'm not quite sure what to do, but I really want to write on that. Let me know if you guys have any advice on this. I could really use some tips or inspi. Thanks!! ♡♡

@Innocentffs heyy we can use the prompts as a dialogue or a thought. Our story doesn't have to revolve around them. It's my first time too! Good luck!

@TessaYoung5 Hey! Can you please tell me how to use prompts as I'm participating for the first time so I don't know about this. Our story should revolve around one of the prompts or two or we can use the prompt in dialogues?

Can't believe i won the shortys2024 for my poetry TogetHER on pages of HIStory. This was a verse novel and such a random idea lol. Will try to continue writing it but i don't think a lot of people enjoy reading verse novels. Have never seen anyone write one here. If anyone has good recommendations, then lemme knoww. 
          
          Also i just saw wattys 2025 rules and it's sad to see how they're not inclusive of all the genres. I lowkey just want to give up from wattpad atp. First they removed the messaging feature and now they're hosting wattys only for their benefits and cash grabs. They're just trying to make wattpad the most unusable app to ever exist. I am very disappointed in it. Please take me back to 2018 wattpad era ;-; 
          
          Anyways, I'm excited for the new year as well. This year, while i achieved a lot, was probably the worst years of my life. Will not miss it :) how was it for yall?

@CarolKnox2 omg that's cool! Let me know which book, I'd love to read it!

Heyy everyone!! 
          I'm back on Wattpad again after a long hiatus lol (ig i say this everytime). I don't think anyone even remembers me here now but that's understandable. I'm never active here. Especially since Wattpad removed dms (which has probably the worst thing they've done here, i hope they bring it back). 
          Anywaysss, how's everyone doing? I'm doing pretty good in life tbh. Plus I'm doing 3 jobs just to earn enough to afford myself lmao. And that's why I'm barely able to find time to write ;-; i miss writing tbh. But it's something that's least of my concerns these days. 
          Also, congratulations to anyone who was shortlisted for the wattys this year!! I hadn't applied for it this year because i was super sure i wasn't going to get shortlisted but apparently a lot of people were this time (and i low-key regret not applying for it). Anyways it's ok. I think my book needs a whole revamp thing and i just don't have the time and energy for it. I might as well write a new one atp. 
          
          
          Alsooo, I'm looking to make new friends again. So if anyone wants to chat or whatever, y'all can hit me on Snapchat. I'm usually active there the most! My Snapchat is: mishaal_200
          Since wattpad has removed dms, it's just become annoying and difficult to reconnect with people on here. :(
          
          Aaand, how's everyone else doing? Did anyone get to complete their new year's resolutions for this year? I know I couldn't lol (maybe i did 1 or 2 but that's about itt). 
          
          Ig that's itt. Byeee :)

@TessaYoung5 I've got an offer again from Qatar it's around 1.20 lakh Indian rupees but I'm wondering if it would be a good move to move again from the settled place I am in. Are you still up working at odd hours? Hit me up x

@TessaYoung5 Jeez. Don't burn the candles at both ends darl. Take some rest. Also are you a technical writer? Damn I was also going to do that when I was a content writer before going to Qatar. Damn. Didn't know you would end up in the same field.

Hi again to anyone who cares lol
          Yes I've been on a much longer hiatus than I intended on, and probably will be for reasons that are just frustrating. I had my graduation ceremony last month, and yeah I'm officially a computer systems engineer (bronze medalist), and guess what? I still can't find a decent job to save the life of me ;-; it's been a terrible (and a humbling) experience honestly, and I can't seem to wrap my head around what or where I could be going wrong. I've been sending out applications nonstop since last year's October, but haven't gotten any luck. Maybe for the fact that I'm only applying for a remote job (because that's what my circumstances are allowing me for now), and the whole process is taking a toll on my mental health after so many rejections. I wish it was easier, but no lol. Every single position requires tons of experience (even entry level) and now I'm on my wit's end. Because financially I'm just going in a really bad state, and I want to move out from here because of my really bad neighbors. It's frustrating. I just WISH there were more remote jobs, idk why it has to be so difficult for NO reason. 
          Sorry for the rant, I'm just done with this whole thing lmao. And yeah that's why Wattpad has become the least of my priorities these days. Hopefully if I ever get a job (which seems impossible as of now lol), I might come back. For now, life is just sucking the life out of me lol.
          
          Anyways, enough about me. How's everyone else's 2024 going? Has anyone got around with their resolutions?

@RRRodriguez84 ikk i was thinking of doing masters abroad but then life happened. I really can't leave my family behind especially my mom who's most of the time sick and needs me with her. So yeah there's that. And for now I'm just a technical writer because it's the only thing i can do remote without experience. My only options r remote jobs so yeah. But hopefully i can switch back into becoming an ai engineer. Fingers crossed!! All my jobs r just writing related lol which I don't usually like but it's what it is. How r u rey? It's been a while!
