It is done. At the literal 11th hour, I have completed and submitted both of my ONC submissions. Believe it or not, I actually had to cut my original story plans down in order to make the time. Better to have too much than too little I suppose.
Regardless, as much as I would love to win big this year (really really love), I am more proud of the fact that I finished at all. I may not win the race, but god help me I finished it. That alone, for my poor and not always cooperative mind, is an achievement.
If you wish to look at my entries, I would happily welcome it. They are not as intricate as I had originally hoped, but they are much tighter I think, and perhaps better paced.
Thank you for your attention, and have a good one!
