Snapdragon's Academy, of Spelling, Sorcery, Alchemy and Algebra by Angela Goldsmith
Due partly to the fact that this story is NOT really a Novella and won't be completed in 20,000 or probably not even 40.000 words. And partly because of a bereavement in my family in April, and my illness with a chest infection in May, ho-hum, which completely knocked me out. I did not re-enter this story into the final round of the ONC2025n contest. Which is a shame and quite annoying because I was enjoying the process of being a part of it. Oh well! Sighs.
Anyway, I am happy that the story got through the first TWO rounds of the contest which proves, to me at least, that my writing is good enough after all.
Congratulations to all those shortlisted in the final. Good luck everyone.
However, I have decided that I will keep writing this story nonetheless and I will make regular updates. Hopefully I will be able to enter it into the WATTYS instead.
Thank you to all those who read and supported the work.
