I decided to join the Open Novella Contest 2020, and two of the prompts listed were ones I had saved from Pinterest... "You sold your soul to the Devil years ago. Today, he returns it to you and says 'I need a favor.'" & "You scream to the heavens you'll never fall in love again. Aphrodite heard you and took it as a challenge." I just didn't think of putting them together in the same book until then.
2
Telling enough of the story to make it interesting while staying around 20k. I'm so used to writing novels, not novellas.
3
People have been enjoying it so far. A few have told me that they like the mix of the prompts, it's something they either haven't seen before or they never would've thought of combining.
4
I'd have to say Betty and Lucifer's history/interest in each other. It was fun exploring Lucifer as a character, making him a bit more human in terms of loving someone & being loved in return.
5
Right now, it's a standalone. I don't have any plans to make it into a series any time soon.
6
Just simple enjoyment. I want readers to think of likable stories and say, yeah this was a good read.
7
Don't force yourself to write the story if you're not feeling it. It's okay to work on something else, even if it's just a quick scene that will never see the light of day. There's also nothing wrong with taking a break from writing altogether, give it a few days and come back with fresh eyes when you're ready.
8 ?
I tried really hard to make Betty different from me, other than having brown hair but I think there are a couple little similarities between us. Like the type of dog Betty likes, is what my dog is in real life (a Labradoodle with apricot/tan fur).

Probably the prompts, since they're listed in the summary. It's definitely an unusual pairing... I just hope I did it justice.
10
I do! I'm actually getting ready to start my summer project that I'm waiting to announce, but I do have a series that I'm working on outside of Wattpad at the moment. Hopefully that project will be posted on here sometime this year :)

Murder the Mountains: A Dark Fantasy LitRPG
Murder the Mountains is a dark fantasy LitRPG in the vein of games like Dark Souls and Planescape Torment. Matt’s life is in limbo, so he has nothing but time to waste playing videogames. Enter cult gaming sensation, Cannibal Hymn: A punishing multiplayer RPG set in a grim world conjured from the imagery of Ancient Central and South America. The Yunka Coast is a colorful and macabre land of sand and surf, barren dunes, mysterious ruins, blood-crazed gods, eldritch liches, ferocious beasts, brutal headhunters, exotic cultures, feudal politics, weird psychedelic drugs, and treasure-littered tombs. But there's something sinister beneath the surface... The game's development team turned up dead in a grizzly murder-suicide before release, strange glitches don't seem random, and Matt's friend, Jess, has gone missing. In order to find her, Matt must progress through the game and uncover its mysteries, persevering through constant set-backs, and slaying his way through what or whoever gets in his way. The MC starts from the bottom and must struggle his way to cutting down the gods and seizing control of the game’s PVP economy and political structure. Meanwhile, the story of the world is told through lore and environmental storytelling, and something dark and unsettling stalks Matt’s day to day life.

Unbound Reality.
Instead of coloring the pavement red with his blood and squished intestines Ben fell through what looked like stained glass. Instead of the sickening thud or a splat that would usually be heard after a body hit the ground from multiple stories high there was the noise of glass shattering. Instead of dying, Ben fell into a path of eternal life where he will inspire the stories of legend... It is a story about a man who wanted to move on from living as he had done everything he wanted to ccomplish, but instead of meeting his end he became God of his own world, his own sandbox. See him build a pantheon out of nothing and experience many tales that bards would sing across the world for eons to come. Extra tags : Omnipotent character, God, immortals. The first few chapters are rough, you can skip to a later chapter and you wouldn't miss much.
