I learned so much about myself as a writer. Oftentimes, writers can be so hard on themselves. By forcing myself, (initially) to complete a project from start to finish within 8 hours, I was more focused and more determined than ever before. This challenge broke me out of the confines that I'd placed myself in. Writing was fun again. I've always loved to write, but this gave my writing a boost. Now, I'm more productive and more willing to move out of my comfort zone. I think my productivity for this challenge proves that! All in all, I completed a total of 10 new pieces for this challenge. All done in less than eight hours!

It was really freeing to sit down in the morning and say, "I'm going to complete and publish a work for fiction before 5 o'clock today." I can usually edit myself to death but I think having permission to edit once or twice instead of ten times was nice. This is an experiment I'll definitely be doing again.

This is a crime short of 6200 words or approx. 20 print pages altogether.

Additional Comments

I wrote this for the Erotica Challenge on Kindle Boards, but actually it turned into less Erotica and more of a steamy historical romance. So I'm not sure if it really qualifies for the other challenge but I thought it does qualify for this one, so why not! I learned that I'm not great at writing straight erotica, I like the story line too much and the characters as well. But it was great fun writing stuff that is a lot more sexy than I usually go. The book seems to be selling really well though! So I am going to make it into a series and do a few more. So that's a win :-)

I really pushed the deadline this time; no opportunity to set up pre-orders, and Amazon took longer than usual to approve it so it technically appeared a day late, but I'm still happy this only took me twelve hours and yet has the feel of a solid Part 2 to the trilogy. Anyone who enjoys it is strongly encouraged to write a review, tell a friend, or mention the book on social media, so I can keep spinning more tales!

This one of my ghost shorts was hard on the edits. I'd read up on 20's slang before writing it, but wrote the story in modern slang and went back during edits to make everything period. It ended up being a lot of fun to write, and I love the universe I created here. I may eventually turn this concept into a full novel-length book.

I originally wrote this as a standalone prequel short story to give away on my email list when I launched my first novel this spring. However, I've changed over to a new free short story to go with my newest novel, and decided to clean Bloodling Wolf up and put it for sale on Amazon. I guess I've grown a lot as a writer over the last year because it needed a *lot* of cleaning.
