And there you have it!

My very first Open Novella Contest book 😊

I honestly can't thank you all enough for your support. Thank you for sticking with this story. From your votes to your comments, every single bit of support has meant the world to me ❤️🙏

I had promised myself that I wouldn't publish any other story while I'm in school, so I could focus properly (university can be exhausting 😖),

But when I saw one of the ONC prompts—Prompt 109—something about it caught my eye, and I decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did, because honestly, this might be one of the best stories I've written (maybe even my favorite, lol). It was a challenge, and I loved every moment of it 💯

"The Final Draft" became more than just a contest entry. Along the way, I fell in love with the characters, the plot, and the twists that unfolded naturally as I wrote. From planning Tiana's intricate revenge to exploring the themes of betrayal and justice, this story pushed me to grow creatively and emotionally.

No matter the outcome of the contest (though I'm hoping to be among the best 😁), I'm just glad I was able to put this out there and challenge myself with something I've never done before 💯👌

Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for reading ❤️
I hope you enjoyed the story as much as I enjoyed writing it 😊

And to those participating in the ONC as well, good luck! 💯

Now... how did Tiana leave you feeling? 😁

And what do you think happened at the end? 🤔 👀 🌚
