This year’s ONC almost finished me
I submitted Observation on April 30th at exactly 11:59 PM like someone fleeing a crime scene.
Very risky behavior. Would not recommend.
Trying not to repeat that with the Wattys this year.
Currently writing: I’m Okay, Dad.
Observation was cold. Clinical. Intentional.
But this one is the opposite.
I wanted something quieter. More human. More emotionally dangerous.
Honestly, this contest helped me stop abandoning stories halfway, so whether you’re writing for the ONC, Wattys, or just trying to finish something for once — good luck seriously.
What are you submitting this year?
Drop them. I need more stories to emotionally ruin myself with.
And if you leave I’m Okay, Dad emotionally untouched…
I probably failed somewhere.
