25th February, huh?
Today is a very special day for me: tis my mom’s birthday, or, it would have been were she still here with me ☹️
It’s also the day when I tend to publish my first chappy of the ONC novella!
It has become a tradition of a sorts that I’ve been doing, and I’d like to keep it this way for the future contests, too.
Every year since 2019 I’ve thrown my hat into the ring of the amazing Open Novella Contest: this is, hands down, and by far the best writing festival on Wattpad platform.
When prompts are announced on February the 1st, it’s incredibly fun to read, re-read and explore them as you pick the one (or more!) that speaks to you. I love the February 1st fever!
During the past five ONC instalments I have written a so many different genres: there was a middle grade litfic story, a contemporary romance, a time travel sci-fi, then a middle grade mythology booklet a la Percy Jackson. Last year I even tried my hand at sci-fi steampunk!
This time round I’ll be participating with a YA romance/litfic combo that definitely has some 2002 “Crossroads” movie vibes.
This road-trippy entry is called “Love, Dad” and it’s set in the US in the 80s. I hope I can do it justice!
I’m really excited about writing it, since it’s my first time excursion to romance, historical fiction and literary fiction tri-genre blend.
Ye are sure to like it, if you are a fan of the aforementioned movie with Britney Spears, and also, the movie “Leap Year” from 2010 with Amy Adams and Matthew Goode.
Enjoy it if you do get the chance to check it out!
