The bad news is that Mayan Moon didn't make the Shortlist. I've enjoyed being part of this year's ONC and found a myriad of wonderful authors.
          
          The good news is that Mayan Moon didn't make the shortlist, so I'm now free to make some required edits and add back in the parts of the stories I edited out due to word count constraints!!!
          
          Stay tuned for Mayan Moon Updates!

@ricardosalarich That's great! What sorts of important things did you learn about the contest? I would love to do it next year and could use some tips. :)

@MrsSutliff, Thank you. I had a lot of encouragement from many of the participants in this year's ONC, plus this story was fun to write, and that always helps in finishing. 
            
            I also learned a lot about the contest, and I'll have a better plan next year!

@ricardosalarich Your book sounds really great. I remember last year just waiting until I could make edits to my ONC. Congrats on finishing it this year. I petered out and didn't even finish mine. I wrote all the way up until the deadline last year, so I know how hard it can be to actually finish the ONC. Well done!

I decided not to submit A Storm of Ecstasy and Rage to The Journey of Legends Contest :( There was just too much going on to get it to the 15K word mark.

@expobaguette thanks! I think thanking the readers on Inkitt is probably a better use of my time than entering another contest.

@ricardosalarich also I wasn't done but accidently pressed send. Your writing is good, so I'm betting it's better if you just enjoy the pacing before getting stressed with writing (I don't know if that's what it is though, just wanna keep supporting other writers)
