Hey, I really liked this week's drabble. It's simple yet amazing. Good luck, hon. ❤️️

Thank you for adding my stories on your reading list. I hope you enjoy them. ❤️️

I still can’t quite believe I’m writing this 😭❤️
          
          The Color of Music received 2nd Place in the Romance Category of the Treetop Writer Awards 2026, hosted by @DancingRavenclaw99! 🥈🎉
          
          I’m genuinely so honored and grateful. When I first opened the reviews, I saw my story listed as #6 and somehow thought that meant I had placed sixth — and I was already excited 😂 Then I checked the results and realized… SECOND PLACE?! I honestly had to look twice.
          
          The final score was 23/25, with 5/5 for Characters, Spelling & Grammar, Worldbuilding, and Overall Enjoyment. The judge also gave me something very useful to work on: pacing. I completely agree, and that’s definitely something I want to improve.
          
          But one part of the review meant especially much to me: the judge said that while reading, she became “more and more attached to Miyu.” ❤️
          
          I think that may be one of the best compliments The Color of Music could receive. More than anything, I wanted readers to understand Miyu as a person, feel with her, and become emotionally invested in her journey — not only in what happens around her.
          
          Thank you so much to @DancingRavenclaw99 for all the time and effort you put into judging and writing such thoughtful reviews. And congratulations to all the other winners too! ❤️

Waiting for you to read my book and also for your lovely comments

Hello, when you did the just write it challenge, at what point do you have to submit your project to the Google form? Because I was under the impression that you have to submit it the same month that you are doing the challenge, but after you have finished the words for that month? Also any tips if I might decide to do the just write it challenge this november?

I’m so excited to share two writing milestones with you 🤍
          
          Back in May, I joined the 30 Day Challenge with @justwriteit, and now the results are finally here.
          I received the Diamond 30k+ Ambassador badge for May 2026.
          
          When I joined the challenge, I honestly didn’t know how far I would go. I only knew that I wanted to write, stay consistent, and finally give my story the space it had been asking for.
          
          And somehow, during that month, words became chapters.
          Fragments became a real story.
          And a personal writing journey became something I could actually be proud of.
          
          Another exciting milestone 🖤✨ I recently took part in the Paranormal Wattpad challenges, where writers respond to different weekly prompts and activities. It was such a fun way to explore darker, mysterious, supernatural ideas and push myself creatively.
          
          And somehow… I became the Paranormal Month Winner for August 2026 and received the 1st Place sticker.
          
          I’m honestly so grateful.
          
          Thank you to @Paranormal for creating these challenges, for the inspiration, and for giving writers a space to play with the strange, eerie, emotional, and unknown.
          
          This win means a lot to me, not only because of the sticker, but because horror and paranormal writing have become such an unexpected and exciting part of my writing journey.

Hey guys! ❤️
          
          I’m working on a few different projects at the same time, and I’ve reached that dangerous writer stage where I’m excited about all of them and have no idea which one I should publish first 😂 So I’d really like your opinion.
          
          1) 15 Unforgettable Dates 💕
          A collection of 15 separate stories, each built around one date — not necessarily romantic or successful. Some are funny, awkward, painful or unexpectedly meaningful. Together, they explore attraction, red flags, boundaries, heartbreak, instinct, self-respect, and those encounters we remember even when the relationship itself never happened.
          
          2) Paranormal Stories 👻🖤
          I’ve been having way too much fun with paranormal prompts lately, experimenting with folklore, creatures, psychological horror and different explanations for supposedly supernatural events. Some began as challenge ideas but are growing into stories of their own.
          
          3) The Last Phone Call 📞❤️
          This one unexpectedly grew out of a 100-word drabble from a ShortStory challenge:
          
          She stared at the woman before her, in awe that this was her partner for life.
          The mirror reflected a tired face, one hand resting on her swollen belly.
          Every evening, Daniel called from the front, promising he was safe.
          Then an officer arrived.
          Daniel had died three weeks earlier.
          His friends had used old recordings and artificial intelligence to keep speaking in his voice. He had asked them to protect her until the baby came.
          She touched the glass.
          “You knew,” she whispered.
          The woman in the mirror began to cry silently.
          
          Apparently those 100 words refused to stay 100 words 😂 Now I’m developing them into a full novel.
          
          So — which would you genuinely want to read first, and why?
          
          1 — 15 Unforgettable Dates 💕
          2 — Paranormal Stories 👻
          3 — The Last Phone Call 📞
          
          Right now my own answer is apparently: all of them at once 😂❤️

Another very personal piece of mine, Shadows of Good Intentions, has been added to The Unsaid Tales collection by @SocialThemes. ❤️
          
          This story is about something I think is much harder to admit than simply saying, “I made a mistake.” Sometimes we hurt someone while genuinely believing we are helping them. We convince ourselves that we know what is best, cross boundaries in the name of care, and only much later understand what our “good intentions” actually cost.
          
          I wrote this from a very personal place. It’s about friendship, regret, learning to respect another person’s choices, and realizing that loving someone doesn’t give us the right to decide their life for them.
          
          I hope it might resonate with anyone who has ever looked back at something they did with good intentions and wished they had acted differently. Maybe it can also remind someone that growth sometimes begins with being able to say: I was wrong. I understand it differently now.
          
          And as always, I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts if you read it — positive or critical. Honest, constructive feedback means much more to me than praise alone because it helps me grow as a writer. ❤️
