I don’t know anymore. I am trying my best to be inspired and finish Chico’s but I’ve barely had time this week, and I might have to just submit OTAPSA as my only ONC entry. Oscar hasn’t been well and there’s a very high possibility he might be put down on Monday, and I’ve been helping to look after him but I don’t want to go into that. In my free time, I have been trying to write for Chico’s but the words aren’t coming out the way I want them to 
I entered OTAPSA into ONC, and Chico’s just didn’t get enough word count, which is fine. I can finish it another time. The words just weren’t coming out for it. It wasn’t working out. At least I got one through, and I am happy with it. I finished something !

I’m glad you did, and gave the “good college try” for the other. I got all 4 in, the last about 1.25 hours before the end, without it’s headers, and damn am I tired. I am taking the day off, today.

Yeah, maybe I will stick to one idea next year.
That’s a brilliant achievement! 
You deserve it for real!
After a few days to think about it, the type of editing I now do before I turn in a story is not conductive to more than 2 of them. I’ll keep that in mind for next year, before I do anything else. lmao

If anything, ONC is a learning experience lol.
I learn a lot from doing it every year

0 editing, I can churn them out. Any editing and that drops off. That’s directly from learning on this deadline.

I should churn stuff out more often. Churning stuff out is probably the best option tbh. And yeah, deadlines like ONC are good too.

Nice I wonder will any get shortlisted?
I longlisted 2 before and shortlisted one? So, it’s possible. But I genuinely don’t expect it, you know?

Yeah, same. I am surprised mine got this far. I wrote it all over the space of a month, pretty much but I’m happy for us both tbh.
