Well -- I've taken on the challenge to write a book in a month running from April 10-May 10 (submission date to Harlequin Spice Briefs). The challenge was issued on Mainstreet at Cobblestone Press and there's quite a few of us participating. My only problem. . . I don't think my story is spicy enough and is probably going to end up being too long. But, I'm going to bang out the words anyway. . .
Wish me luck!

Good luck with the BIAM! :) Don't worry about the story not being too spicy. You can spice it up during editing. Heh!
Tempest. . . good idea!
Yay, Ericka! I'm glad you're doing it too. I jumped in a day late. *Wince* But I think I'm caught up :)
I have the reverse problem. Mine might be too hot. Sigh. Good luck!
I reckon you should just write it, sounds very interesting. I love anything that mentions ghosts. ;)
And Tempest is right, you can always spice it up later!
Well -- I've banged out 1300 words so far. . . and the outline changed after I typed in the first scene. I'm not having to tweak it much, but it's amazing how your characters speak to you once you start telling their story!
Oh Wow! I've always wanted to do a challenge like that... but seems I'm always too loaded when they come around! :) Good luck! And have fun!

Good luck! "Banging it out" sounds pretty spicy...
Tons of luck!! Keep us posted on your progress. =)
You can do it Pam!!!
Much luck to you. I can say, I've had to do a mass write for a contract but never because I chose to.
Good Luck.
Great luck!
Good luck with your book. I'm sure the spice will work itself out!
Hey good luck Ericka! I'm sure it will turn out great. :)
How many words? I bet you can do it!
Well, I'm up to 1700 words. . . interrupted by a family camping trip. Lots of lovely free time ~ but didn't write much. I though a lot.
The Spice briefs are 5-15K. . . I figure the story I've outlined is about 15K.
Thanks for all the encouragement! Go me!
Tons of luck! That Spice line is something really exciting!
15K is not too hard. Just think of it as like Avon. :D

Wow! A month? good luck to you! You're an inspiration.
