BOOM! chapters just dropped. And thus I finished my ONC project. And I passed round two, too! So let let me just bask in my own work for a sec. Anywho, I hope someone is going to read some of this before I submit because I really need feedback (puppy eyes). There's enough to actually read too, it may not be 35k words, but it's 34k words.
          
          Later this novella is going to be part one of full novel that I'll start writing after ONC passes. I found myself writing enemies to lovers and I'm kinda eating it up lmao. There's also lots of magic here, some mystery, lots action and blood. Just read it, guys. And have a nice day / night depending on where you are.

So last time I was talking about how I was frustrated that I didn't publish as much as I had initially planned bc my computer was having problems. This is my vindication. So I won!
          
          Don't get fooled, it's only 5 chapters but it's 14k words. I would like to  keep this under 35k for ONC. Later expand to a full novel length. So I have a month to get past 20k and wrap around this story.
          
          Or maybe my tome is limitless, like if I don't even add this round lmao.
          
          Anyways, here's chapters! Enjoy

It's about time I publish something for ONC if I want to remain in the competition so here it is. This update is very frustrating for me because I don't like publishing unfinished story subparts. I wanted to take the main character from the enciting incident to the point he's about to start his quest, but my computer is being a hater right now and is having issues T __ T it's even worse because it's a new computer and it's already giving me hell. 
          
          Anyway, here's chapters. Now I'm gonna go submit my 8k milestone. 
          I just published " 03 " of my story " Through Blood | ONC 2024 ". https://www.wattpad.com/1433874599?utm_source=android&utm_medium=profile&utm_content=share_published&wp_page=create_on_publish&wp_uname=goncalobooks

Thanks for adding double edge to your list!

So it's been a long time, right? Since last time, I changed jobs, moved to Paris and I'm now two weeks in trying to adapt to the havoc of this city. I finally feel like I can do wattpad again, and since it's ONC season, why not jump the train?
          
          So here it is, my ONC entry after participating four years ago. It's a revenge tale with blood magic, politicking and bisexuality-ness. 
          
          These days all the stories I write will have a mostly or exclusively black or centering the black experience. Because unfortunately we're still not there in terms of representation. This story is a sample of this writing resolution. 
          
          I hope you enjoy. I'm open to feedback too.

I have news guys :D ! 
          
          If you're like me and will soon resume your wattpad reading, there's this book club right here that you can join. It's a sci-fi and fantasy-limited book club, which if you're on my following list you probably qualify ;) 
          
          The rules are still on the work, but the main principle is known to all of you: we read each other's works at a set schedule and give feedback for improvement.
          
          I need to say this : YOU SHOULD BE OVER 18 YEARS OLD OF AGE TO JOIN as the books submitted will probably have mature themes.
          
          Hope y'all join. In the meanwhile, happy new year. And see you.

Another bug or else? I can't to write comments on books while using the wattpad app. It's been so for weeks now, and I have already updated the app a few times. 
          
          I need to use the browser to be able to write comments on books. Am I the only one? This is so annoying, ugh.

Hello everyone,
          
          A quick question to Wattys seasoned peeps. Super late resolution but I'm considering submitting my main wip to the Wattys this year. The problem is that I posted its first chapter on Wattpad before January 2021. 
          
          Is it possible to create a new separate book to submit it, or it's seen as cheating and automatically disqualifies you?
          
          So, yes. I'm late, I think there are certain ways to format stuff before submission like synopsis, are there resources anyone can point me to?
          
          Thanks in advance. 
          
          

Olaaaaa!
          Just hit finish on UTS. It was unexpected even for me because I’d originally planned for an additional 3-4 chapters. But having taken a bit of distance from the story, I realized a few things: 
          1 – I couldn’t build up to the “final battle” I was so longing for without making the pace of the story feel wonky; 
          2 – The previous 10 chapters were already packed with lots of action, and the last three had big revelations that completely change the dynamics among the characters. And that sets Book 2 nicely. 
          I edited the last chapter to make it more conclusive and it’s done (and available to read here: https://www.wattpad.com/story/177792573-unearth-the-shadows). 
          The “big battle” is still happening of course, but that’s a Book 2’s matter now.
          
          So yes, FINISHT! And I’m so happy because I originally had set out to edit the previous draft of this book but ended up rewriting it, with at least 65% of the book being brand-new content and 100% being new words.
          
          Going forward, I’ll be correcting typos and the rougher prose here and there. Plot-wise, this version isn’t changing anymore. I’m still not sure if Book 2 will ever be up on Wattpad, but we’ll see. 
          Good weekend to all.

Coucou! So, I really just dumped 28k words on UTS for everyone who wants to deal with them.
          That's too many words for me to write a synopsis. I'm just gonna say that writing a gay bar scene with some Grindr-style hookup was probably what my subconscious mind set out to do from the moment I first started writing this story. 
          There are also a lot of fights and scheming and stuff here.
          Actually, after these chapters, only the finale remains to be written. It’s probably going to be 3-4 additional chapters before the story is wrapped up. I’ll probably be going to be publishing them beginning of May. In the meantime enjoy the update here: https://www.wattpad.com/1020204732-unearth-the-shadows-44
