At last we reached the time when chapter 8 was due. It was time for my contribution. I was really enjoying reading this collaborative, illustrated story (the pictures are diverse and wonderful!). And I'll confess, I was intimidated. I also had evil plans -- I wanted to shift the nature of the protagonist just a wee bit. I wanted her to have a bit more steel, you know? But I wasn't sure how my collaborators would feel about that. I still don't know. Kind of exciting!

You can find chapters 1- 8 here at Blogstory. Usually the chapter illustration comes up within the week.

It is interesting to think about writing a story with people you don't know. I suspect many of the writers in this group follow each others' blogs, but I suspect I'm a bit more peripheral to the group. So I focused on the first four chapters as my inspiration.

I also rarely write fiction. I read it -- from trash to treasures. So this was out of my comfort zone. That's the second reason I decided to throw in. But the primary reason is still this magic of truly voluntary collaboration. I love it!

P.S. Please, I know I have typos. I'm the queen of typos! Twice I wrote "closed" when I meant "close" and you know what spelchuckers do with that! NOTHING!
