After a hell of a busy month, I’m accepting the fact I won't be able to submit Afterimage for the final round of ONC. I'm unbelievably overwhelmed and excited to have progressed this far, and throughout the last weeks, I've learned I can push my writing faster and further than I previously believed I could. I am sad to bow out, but I am rooting for the dozens of talented friends and writers who are still in the game! I'm proud to have kept up with you all thus far. And I’m so happy this contest has led me to find many (new-to-me) awesome storytellers.
Afterimage will be a completed novella by June! But until then, can’t wait to see the final results of ONC2023!!!! Good luck!
