ONC 2024

Is Voodoo queens set in NOLA?

An unnamed area just outside of New Orleans, to be more in Cajun culture than the city. There is some parts that will be N.O. because overt and showy practitioners are there. But at bare minimum, a Catholic-wiccan blend is practiced further out.

To be honest, maybe the shade and the over the moon one should get kicked out.

Another in the series of ā€œThis is the last chapter, I’m sure.ā€

I hit the Complete button.

I have a feeling the last chapter needs work. I’m not sure anymore if it makes sense with what came before it. Sigh. Maybe it’s just my wishful thinking that hopes that enough has happened to warrant a happily ever after. We’ll see when I look at it with fresh eyes later.

Anyway. This was a cool achievement. A complete draft in one month. :sunglasses:
I’m currently at 32,867 words. This number will likely rise when I’m editing (I’m an underwriter), but it’s still a very manageable size.
Novellas are awesome!

Guys I’m really stupid. I forgot that the submissions were CLOSING on the 29th and not opening for submission. For some reason, my stupid self thought that you had to start submitting on the 29th. I forgot about the form, and the links. They usually show you the links and remind you about them as an announcement right? I didn’t get that announcement for the links.

Now I have four entries not submitted. Talk about stupid. Am I gonna continue to write them? Some of them. Am I gonna reply to this thread still? Yes.

:joy: I am so forgetful and stupid. But there’s always next year, right?

Good luck to everyone still in the contest. :partying_face:

I know right? I went to check this morning, and I remembered it was the 1st :sob: maybe I can extend something and enter it into the Wattys?

Omg. I don’t know. Can you try to submit? That is such a bummer. You should DM them to let them know. You never know, maybe they’ll let you.

They did send out a couple of reminders though.

Yeah, it’s totally closed so I don’t think they would let me submit :sob:

Wattpad squeezing all the damn reminders into one must have made it get lost.

I think I am going to get tested for ADHD.

I think it’s genuinely affecting my ability to concentrate, and meet/remember deadlines. Even if I set reminders, or do things. I find writing difficult at times as well, even if I have an idea of how things go.

I think that next year, I will try and remember things, look for notices and give myself enough time to prepare.
