          finally, i just wanted to formally announce my plans to publish ✨new work✨ in the upcoming months! i have another angelovsk/gorod krestov novella that i plan to share in full by the end of the year as well as part of a historical romance novel that has been brewing in the back of my brain for some time now. so stay tuned!! xx

Hello there, Elle! <3
          Thank you for adding 7 Crows to your reading list! I hope it'll be worth your time.

it looks like my last announcement didn't post, but i finished "the devil comes to angelovsk" and submitted it to the onc round 3 form with 13 minutes to spare!!!
          
          at this point i'm sleep-deprived, behind in my classes, and honestly in need of a short break from wattpad. i wrote around 18,000 words/the last half of "tdcta" in a week, a feat that is impressive as it was daunting. but i did it! and now, to celebrate, i am going to get some rest and catch up before i come back to finish reading all the lovely entries i've been following and reply to all your comments on my own. 
          
          once again, thank you all so so much for supporting me during this year's open novella contest. this is my favorite time of the year on wattpad because of the community and the way it comes together to celebrate creativity. truly. there's nothing better.
          
          until next time,
          elle ♡♡

two more chapters down, two more to go, and two days to do it!
          
          another double update of "the devil comes to angelovsk" is available to read here: https://www.wattpad.com/1441102823-the-devil-comes-to-angelovsk-onc-2024-10-the-hall and here https://www.wattpad.com/1441234408-the-devil-comes-to-angelovsk-onc-2024-11-saint .
          
          i would say more, but in these last 36 hours my time is rather tight. i just wanted to assure you i will be getting back to all your lovely comments soon and catching up on my onc tbr when i finally finish.
          
          until next time,
          elle ♡♡

I'M DOING IT, Y'ALL! I'M GOING TO FINISH.
          
          a DOUBLE update (!!!) of "the devil comes to angelovsk" is available to read here: https://www.wattpad.com/1440650183-the-devil-comes-to-angelovsk-onc-2024-08-at-the and BROTHES https://www.wattpad.com/1440434072-the-devil-comes-to-angelovsk-onc-2024-09-the .
          
          nothing motivates me like procrastination so i'm genuinely confident in my ability to write the last 8,000 or so words of 'tdcta' in the next five (god help me) days. anyways, thank you for the continued support! i can't wait to read everyone's finished novellas when i have the time to in may!
          
          until next time,
          elle ♡♡

congratulations to to all the open novella contest round two qualifiers! 
          
          i have been sick and swimming in school work so "the devil comes to angelovsk" might not get finished! ahh! i have 11 days to write 10,000-ish words so, uh, we'll see how it goes but it's not looking great. hope your onc entries are doing much better than my own. there are a lot i need to get caught up on and i hope to do so this weekend.
          
          anyways, tldr: the onc is hard, but look for new chapters of 'tdcta' this week... hopefully...
          
          until next time,
          elle ♡♡

lots of things going on around wattpad, but alas, i've published the newest chapter of "the devil comes to angelovsk." read it here: https://www.wattpad.com/1433935503-the-devil-comes-to-angelovsk-onc-2024-06-blood-on.
          
          in other news, i can't wait to write 10,000 words of my entry in the remaining 21 days on the onc! time to get at it and grind i guess. how are the rest of you fairing as we close in on that 30 april deadline? how many more words do you need to write to finish your novella?
          
          until next time,

really going through it with some sudden and frankly upsetting changes in my university program department… but i should have another chapter of “THE DEVIL COMES TO ANGELOVSK” up within a week. writing sure helps me escape the more challenging days of life– i’ve just got to find time to do it!!
          
          how is everyone else doing? where are you all at with your onc entries and or your tbrs/contest reading lists? let me know, i would love to catch up with you all <3
