A social media update with sunflower decorations and a smiling woman in historical-style clothing. The text shares the author's disappointment about not making the ONC2025 Longlist but celebrates completing a novella and invites beta readers. Social media handle: @TheWriMoBlog.

I needed time to process before posting: I didn’t make the ONC2025 Longlist. It stings, but there’s a bright side—The Unicorn’s Blessing is the best work I’ve ever submitted. My goal was to improve on ONC2024, and I did. Plus, I now have a completed novella to show for it!

A cartoon-style image of a surprised-looking character with glasses and a topknot, holding a hand to their mouth. Above their head is the word "GASP" and the phrase "I'm still waiting..." in yellow text. The image is decorated with sunflowers, sparkles, and smiley faces, and tagged with @TheWriMoBlog at the bottom.

I bet the moment I share this, the results will be posted...
During a waiting period in the #OpenNovellaContest, I tend to go radio-silent. It's not intentional, but is a reflection on how un-attached to social media I am.

Waiting for #ONC2025 Longlist!

Thank you for galloping alongside me on this magical journey—it truly means the world. 🌻💫
