Writing History & Mysteries

When I'm not delving into historical research, I'm planning a character's demise.

Help Pick My Words for A-Z Challenge + Camp NaNoWriMo

Help Pick My Words for A-Z Challenge + Camp NaNoWriMo


A SEAT-OF-MY-PANTS MINI-MYSTERY

I'm combining April's Blogging From A-Z Challenge with Camp NaNoWriMo and doing a seat-of-my-pants mini-mystery. I have 26 letters of the alphabet to cover, one letter for every day in April except Sunday, so by April 30th all 26 letters will be covered. A blog post a day using a word that starts with the letter of the alphabet for that day. For the NaNo portion of the challenge, I'm doing the minimum word goal of 10,000 word. Keeping it light--only about 385 words a post.

So to make things even more crazy-- for all my Facebook, blog, twitter friends/followers--you can help me. Pick a word you want me to use and I'll start my list now so my list is ready by April 1st. (Keep it clean. :) Follow the link above to my Facebook note and put your word choice and name in the comment section of the note OR leave it in the comment section of this post. If you use a user name instead of your real name, that is OK too, just leave a link to which ever it is, Facebook, twitter, blog, etc so I can give you some PR in return. Credit for the word used will be given on the blog post of the day.

I must be insane for doing this and there is no guarantee the story will make sense by the time it's done, but I'll do my best!

Waiting for Harvey
4 of 5 stars
Alone, in a cabin in the woods, with a ghost. Who could ask for more in a ghost story? Harvey starts right out with a hint of foreboding in a conversation between brothers John and Erik. Already my curiosity is roused as to what happened...

I randomly downloaded this on my iPad when I hit the wrong button being a bumble fingers, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I've never read fanfic before. It was pretty good. But like many other people, it still can't compare to J. K. Row...
