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.

Telling enough of the story to make it interesting while staying around 20k. I'm so used to writing novels, not novellas.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)
