If you want to understand why I probably shouldn’t be on Twitter, all you need to do is look at some of the crack pot shit I post there. Like this bizarre Sesame Street Bert and Ernie post.

I mean, seriously. I don’t even know where my mind is sometimes.

But, hey, if you like seeing weird stuff like this, interlaced with the occasional writing related tweet, please check me out and give me a follow under username @MathiasCav.

Hey there, just a quick update on how things are going with Open Novella 2020 over on Wattpad!

Well, I easily made the February 29th 2k word deadline! And, right now, I am well passed the 8k deadline for the end of March. So things are going awesome with The Sharded Blade!

Right now, the story stands at 12,804 words. Part 14 is being finalized now, and that will push the story up to about 14.4k and the 20k minimum will be well in sight.

I’m not going to force the story short, but I do see this part of the story wrapping up between 22 and 25k words. From the looks of things, this is pretty much the FIRST part of a three-part story. I’ll decide how to handle the rest of it after ONC2020 wraps up.

I might publish the remaining parts as their own novellas, or I might just expand the rest of it within the same story. Stay tuned to find out!

As some of you may know, I am currently participating in the 2020 Open Novella Contest on Wattpad. This contest is hosted by the Wattpad Ambassador Corps. and the goal is to write a complete novella (more than 20k and less than 40k word) in the span of about three months and utilizing one of the writing prompts they provide as inspiration.

The official date to enter your first 2k words is February 29, 2020. The next 6k (8k total) are due by March 28th. Then, the whole shebang is required to be completed by April 25th. Read more…
