Citrus | ONC 2024 ✔️

Orange Water: A/N, Content Warning, Copyright

I'm back for my second year of ONC... or should I say OMC this year.

Last year was a contemporary romance, and I almost thought I was going to dip into mostly uncharted territories with a fantasy or sci-fi fic. But I'm here with a coming of age family drama XD.

By my estimate, I WILL NOT go over the word count this year after making nice chapter outlines. I should be way under, somewhere between 20k - 30k (probably near the former) unless I start writing 3k chapters again... I know for sure that this book will stay as a novella... unless I want to go insane with flashbacks and do—Y'know what? I actually don't know if it will turn into a novel after ONC. For now, the plan is to keep it as straightforward and novella-like as possible.

There are no words to describe how excited I got when I read the first prompt. With that said, here are the prompts I'm using.

Main prompt:
1. Sometimes words speak louder than actions.

Side prompts:
3. Your greatest fear is monsters in the dark. The last thing you expect is to become the Monster in the dark
42. "They were sunshine, I was midnight rain."
44. "You're like snow. Beautiful but cold."
45. "Keep your happily ever after, it ain't mine."
85. "If you do that again, I'll throw you out that freaking window. What are you doing?"
"Checking how high the drop is to see if it's worth it."

Milestones will be bolded.
