Ok.
I am both bored and time constrained and I have vague ambitions of becoming a writer.
Prompted by the posting of John Birmingham and a random drug induced post on twitter by Sally Piracha about her ambitions to be a romance writer: I would like to enlist the help of friends and strangers to crowd source a Romance novel.
So here is how it works. We shall collectively create a story.
I will be the editor. Your contributions will be published at my discretion.
The objective is to add a sentence or two at a time and attempt to maintain some sort of continuity and build on the character development.
What is the worst that can happen?
Our story is set in modern day Brisbane. The genre is "Romance Novel".
.....and so we begin.....
