Welcome to Mystery Month on JPC Allen Writes! All the prompts and tips relate to mysteries. This October is especially exciting for me because I’ll be revealing the cover and promoting the pre-release of my debut YA mystery, A Shadow on the Snow! As part of the celebration, I’m trying something new with my prompts for Monday Sparks. All the photos this month will be prompts for a collaborative mystery.
What is a collaborative mystery? Collaborative fiction is when multiple authors write different parts of one story. Here’s how it will work on my blog:
- I’ll write two or three sentences in the comments to start the mystery.
- Anyone who wants to may write two or three more sentences.
- Please no graphic content.
- Next week, I’ll take the last sentences in the comments from this week and repeat them as the lead sentence for the next photo prompt.
- By the end of the month, we’ll have a story!
Who wants to be part of a collaborative mystery, part 1?
