hi!!! the pwa/gra livestream is going to be pretty soon! i won't be going on but i hope everyone that manages to watch it enjoys it :D

honestly? i know i'm not going to place 1st in anything. it'll be a miracle if i even manage to place because there were just so many well written entries and i didn't have time to edit my books :") it'll mean my ranking will slide down once again from 2016, and that's completely fine.

to everyone who's feeling nervous, you don't need to be! results isn't everything; you just need to be proud that you managed to finish something--take a look at whatever book you wrote and go "woah, i managed to write this in less than a year?" i'm sure all of your stories are fantastic (even if i didn't have the time to read most of them) so as long as you're satisfied with what you've written, everything will be fine! 

and even if you're disappointed after the results have been released--hell, i was crushed last year when i saw that i went down from 2015--turn those negative feelings into determination to improve yourselves! it's no good to dwell on things for too long; just know that you did your best and keep looking forward!!

with that said, good luck to everyone who's competing! i hope you do well and i'm rooting for you! believe in yourselves <3 also, thank you so much to the PWA for their hard work and being able to create such a good competitive environment for us to better ourselves!!

ps: i didn't comment on it but i did read through the special awards survey! i was really shook to see that pathos had been nominated for six awards--really what the heck :o (i kind of expected to be nominated for media since my covers are grossly overrated rip) 

i was really shocked that lillian got nominated for best minor character too! @ whoever liked the little snake bless you :^) i'm honestly so happy that she managed to snake her way up there lmao

have a good day! idk i'm not in a bad mood and stuff so i just thought i'd post this for anyone needing encouragement or reassurance ^^

(now back to studying/writing bewitching theatre lmao)
