I'm really disappointed because I truly didn't think I would hit the milestone, but decided I might as well try, for fun, just to see if I could make the word limit. My hopes went up, and then, well... My dad happened, LOL.
Honestly though, the word count is NOT everything, and last night was really fun, though I doubt any of what I published at 1am was any good. (Going to try and edit all of THAT in a few minutes... I'm scared).
This is officially the farthest I've ever come in any of my stories. Thanks SO MUCH to everyone for the support, last night, this morning, throughout the entire ONC journey. I would not have been motivated without you friends. It's been so much fun! Congrats to everyone that made it, and kudos to everyone else that came close. Mostly, GREAT JOB to everyone who FINISHED their books. You're amazing, and a true inspiration.
I have not given up, and will abso-freaking-lutely be back next year. I truly hope to get the chance to participate with you and everyone else again. Wattpad is such an amazing community, I'm so glad I found it, and all of my new friends.
