It's been an exciting and gruelling year for me in terms of writing. I learned a lot, read a lot, and wrote a lot. It came with a price tag. My confidence and my desire to write hit the all-time low.
          
          So, once I finish Luna's Vow, I would like to take as much time as required for me to edit books that call to me and improve my writing through study and thinking. I won't be able to bring everything I work on to the final version, since I'm lacking the necessary level of proficiency, but I hope to be one step closer. It's going to be Ablaze and L.A. Lawless series. 
          
          When I feel more confident in my writing again, I will resume working on new stuff.

@DomiSotto So far, I have thoroughly enjoyed your writing. Of course there is always room for improvement and as they say, the sky is the limit :-) Looking forward to read any of your edited and new stuff.

@AyomideAfolaranmi Hi, while I don't do follow for follow, I know it's hard to find audience sometimes, and while I don't do reads on request, I recommend @DreamlandCommunity as an excellent book club hub to learn how to provide feedback and receive feedback on your stories.

Champion in Love hit 5K reads. This book's other claim to fame is that my mother liked it.

Hi! The final 10 chapters of The Stargazer's Alpha have remained locked for, I think, more than 2 or 3 weeks now. Is that status going to be permanent? That is to say, will I need to pay if I want to finish reading the story?

DomiSotto

@CaitlinTureaud My understanding is that they all should eventually unlock.

Congratulations to all the shortlisters for the ONC 2024! That's a fantastic job, everyone! For those who didn't make it, your story is your story, and the next summer is going to bring us more contests.

@Kamiccola They judge for impact rather than for polish, and that's the strength of  this contest. It gives you an idea if the story has that immediate appeal to the audience. Further editing doesn't usually change that, unless you rewrite the whole thing. Today is not the day to decide what to do with the story, since it's too emotionally hard, but over the next few months I will.

@DomiSotto you know, it doesn't mean your novellas aren't good. Maybe they just need a bit more time. 
            ONC novellas are all first drafts. They're all flawed and underdeveloped. I think it's crazy that it's a contest that judges first drafts.
            Looking at it from that pov, I don't envy the judges. Lol.

@empiresofwater I only made shortlist once in 5 years of participation, so i am just a crap novella writer, lol. I am so happy Chimera made it and I really cheer for it to be among the grand winners!

ONC was great this year.  Even impacted twice by Wattpad-wide changes it went ahead and delivered the community experience we all love. Long list is now out, and I am happily picking stories for those moments I can enjoy a good yarn. My current read is @wdhenning story, Mars Needs Women, and it's funny and upbeat, just as I like 'em.

If you have known me for long enough as a writer, you know that my goal was always to hit 50K reads for just writing and posting, no promotion, no nothing. 50K reads is a modest amount when success is measured in millions, but for me, that's enough. After 6 years of posting on 5 different sites, I finally reached this goal. I'm not gong to guild the lily. It was on Inkitt and it was with a story in an erotic category, a reverse harem featuring an Australian college swim team. It gives me hope that I can write stories people will read, but my unicorn story is still waiting to happen.  For now, I'm jus going to celebrate finally meeting this important milestone and dream of popular success.

@TeodoratheScholar thank you. I really hope to keep figuring out my way toward the audience. I started so frightfully far from the masses (sorry, couldn't resist the quote).

@DomiSotto Congrats! Finding the right audience is always difficult, but you'll definitely get more reads once you find a dozen readers who are the 'right fit'. Definitely a great step forward. :) More to come!
