All you writers and would-be writers from all over the world can add to the story ~ but no more than 1 chapter (at most) per writer (say 500-1000 words) ~ one submission per contributor per book. I&#39;ll choose a genre, plot line, etc., you submit your piece as comments to that post. I will select, edit, arrange, etc., and post the &quot;novel in progress&quot; &lt;a href=&quot;http://robiz-novelinprogress.blogspot.com&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.

I think we can work on several at a time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&#39;s try Romantic Fiction (w/o people jumping in and out of bed ~ that&#39;s hardly romance.) Modern day, Missouri (maybe the Ozarks), tornado season, main characters in their 50&#39;s, one widowed/widower and one never been married.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&#39;s give it a try.</description><link>http://progressivenovels.blogspot.com/2009/08/2-romantic-fiction-clean-style.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3948287125088277250.post-6173183854455698100</guid><pubDate>Fri, 07 Aug 2009 03:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-06T23:38:16.072-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">fiction</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">mystery</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">novel</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">plot</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">progressive</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">writing</category><title>#1 Mystery Fiction</title><description>Let&#39;s start with this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A mystery taking place in the Colorado Rockies, modern day. You decide what kind of mystery ~ murder mystery, spy mystery, kidnapping, hijacking, terrorist plot...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Submit your ideas for a TITLE as well, or a prologue, or character backstories, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess that&#39;s enough for now.

Send me your submissions as comments to the posted genre, subject, plot, whatever. Remember, 500-1000 words per contributor. Please, only one submission per contributor per &#39;book&#39;. I am the moderator, so your comment won&#39;t show up on the site until I read it and give my okay. I have just started this site, so changes may come as we try things out and make improvements, but for now these are the parameters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please, all contributors include name and contact information, you know, just in case by some chance our end product is good enough to publish. Everyone will be credited for their part! I will put the accepted submissions together, edit, arrange, etc., and post the work in progress &lt;a href=&quot;http://robiz-novelinprogress.blogspot.com&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By submitting your comments you are releasing all rights to your contribution and have no rights to the finished work.
