A Different Kind of Blog Challenge

So, you all know how much I enjoyed the A to Z Blog Challenge in April. I really stretched myself and I met a lot of very cool fellow bloggers in the process. One such blogger is Joe Owens from Joe’s Musings. Joe came up with the really creative and fun sounding idea of gathering a baker’s dozen of bloggers and enlisting their help to write a fiction story. The idea being that Joe himself would post the first chapter of the story, and then hand it off to blogger number two, who will write the second chapter, and so on.

Well, having had so much fun with the A to Z Challenge, I couldn’t resist. It just sounded like so much fun! So, I signed up immediately, having no clue what the story was going to be about or even what genre we would be writing in (yet another opportunity for me to stretch myself!). Joe’s goal is for us to end up with a complete, cohesive story, even though he has given us (the thirteen bloggers/writers) complete carte blanche to twist and weave the plot however we see fit with our respective chapters. Fun, right?

Well, we just received word that the genre for this little adventure will be suspense/thriller, and the first chapter was posted yesterday on Joe’s blog. There, you will also find a complete list of the bloggers/writers participating in the Baker’s Dozen Fiction Story, as well as a schedule of when each new chapter will be posted. You will also be able to read each new chapter on Joe’s blog as they are posted, but I will also be keeping you up to date right here on this blog as well so, be sure to check it out!
