Hello, all.
          	I decided to query Sea Gets Lucky to agents, so I have pulled it from WattPad. If you were in the middle of reading it -- so sorry!

Hi there! I’m a manager for an event hosted in the Dreamland Community Discord server called Write That Sentence. I just wanted to let you know that your book was used for this event where players are given the blurb of a book and try to guess its real first sentence. They’ll write what they think could be the opening line, and then everyone guesses which one is real.
          
          Only the first sentence of your story and its blurb are shared, and everything stays within the game.
          
          If you’d like to see what people came up with or just check it out, you’re more than welcome to join the server! I can provide the link, if you like. 
          
          No pressure at all — I just wanted to be transparent and let you know!

There's a thing called "Wattys Bootcamp" that helps with Wattys preparation - if you are interested, ask me and I'll point you to the profile and Discord. 
          
          The "mentees," meaning those who participated AND were able to match with a mentor, got fabulous editing advice prior to the Wattys submission deadline. And now, you can see teasers of all the books that were honed to perfection and then entered into the Wattys contest.

Séa Gets Lucky is re-boxed! I hope I didn't drop some chapters in the process.
          
          + Each chapter has a name.
          + 13 "new" chapters (I split quite a few that had over 3000 words in them)
          + Lots of edits included. Thanks, @eacomiskey !!!
          + Some new art in the headers
          
          Wattys, here I come.

Séa Gets Lucky is a mess right now, as I revamp it for the Wattys. Its length grew by 9k words as I have edited, so it doesn't fit in the same chapter boxes as before. I need a "PARDON OUR DUST" sign.

@guywortheyauthor Lol! Pardon our dust sign! That's funny. Mine says "I'm getting there, don't close the door on me yet!"

@guywortheyauthor  I'm going through the same thing with my story and, based on the notifications I've been getting, half the rest of the Wattpad writers, too. They really should create a way for us to update without notifications!

Greetings, all.
          
          I am grateful and humbled. My notifs exploded with two simultaneous showers of congratulations. 
          
          1. "Boots of Booty" has made the ONC shortlist. https://www.wattpad.com/story/333484200-boots-of-booty-onc-2023
          
          2. BootCampMentors accepted "Séa Gets Lucky" for their Watty mentor program and I am ecstatic to share that my mentor will be the impcomparable @eacomiskey
          
          Furthermore, last month @prettyinpunkbc randomly chose Séa Gets Lucky as their "spotlight" so that I got a huge batch of wonderful, critical comments.
          
          I'm floating.
          
          Thanks.
