I really just saw, like, ten prompts from the Open Novella Contest 2024 and had the crazy idea to combine them all into one novella. How am I going to achieve this? By doing my best, I hope! Certainly, I did not expect to be grabbing at every do-able prompt I see and compiling them into a short story. In order to make this work, I needed to pick up the prompts and mash them into a setting in quite the contrary way that I will be able to create my unique blend of a story using several prompts in one book.

The planning was surprisingly quick, and being able to stitch the prompts together into one cohesive story (at least in my head, I have yet to really write everything out) into a brief paragraph tucked away in the mud pile of story ideas, my pantser hands were ecstatic to be get something quick and easy out but still have fun on the way. Especially with all the free time I am soon to have to continue writing on my stories, I can only go ballistic from here on out.

For now, this information page will not be fleshed out to do the book justice (mainly because it hasn't even been made lol), and will only showcase what to expect once the chapters are out.

Soon, the first few chapters will be released by the end of February for the contest and continued chapter updates like any regular book. Just hope that I actually finish this on time lol
