Finally submitted "Lure, Loathe", my ONC 2025 project for Round 1, after much contemplation (I was thinking if I could keep up with the writing schedule and back out but at the end, submitted my entry). I also have published Ch 3 and 4 of "Lure, Loathe", making the entire story 8641 words (so I already have the 8000 words required for Round 2 ready; that being said if I qualify for Round 2 lol). But now that I have the 8000 words also ready, I can finally rest and focus on my exams and then come back from 17th March to carry on for Round 3 (again, if I am able to go that far).
Good luck to my fellow writer friends and others who are participating in ONC 2025 <3
