I got Romance, a Guitarist and Collusion.

I didn't write anything on purpose for 3 weeks coming up to this entry in hopes that I'd be able to concentrate my creative juices. Boy did it work!
I just have to remember not to add too much comedy. I got Drama last year and that was one of the notes. 
I wish everyone good luck!

Good call on not adding too much comedy, especially with Romance, or else it veers into Rom Com territory. Been there before!

Good luck!

I got Action/Adventure, a craftsman and 'reunification'.
 
Oh. God. This is not my genre. I'm having to lean heavily into influences from previously watched movies like 'The Mummy', 'Tomb Raider' etc. 

It's probably veering more into rom-com territory at the moment but.... I'm trying :D 

Good luck everyone!

I hear you. I would usually like fairy tale, the one prompt, ghost town really played with my head, lol. I will have something, but not my best... Hope yours works out.

I'm so late in starting  but I got suspense, an omen, a bibliophile. Group 35. Anyone else in this group?

Group 32
A Fairy tale
Staycation
A Gossipmonger

Took me the whole first day just to come up with a story. Getting it all within 10 pages was the real challenge.

Thanks Suave <3 you, too! 

I've got something now, and I feel like it's at the point where if I start over-editing it's going to be worse off for it. Just going to submit, hope for the best and learn my lesson for next year! 

If anyone wants a beta reader, who isn't in my group of course, drop me a pm :) x

Just realized prompt 18 is the Hallmark Mysteries prompt- Romance, collusion, a guitarist.

Anyone have contacts for them? I can easily flush this into a 100 page script. I can even provide the 10 page story as an extended treatment!

Too bad you didn't get Comedy. I laughed out loud when I read this.
