WWE, Wednesday Writing Essentials Challenge,...

♫♫♫ I'm in the mood for love ♫♫♫

This week's challenge is for all you romantics, non-romantics and aliens. I'm in the mood for a holiday romance. A Christmas romance, Hannukah romance or any romance involving a holiday you're celebrating this time of year or any other time of year.

My gift to you is there aren't any additional conditions. Write us a short story, a beautiful poem or just tell us about a romantic holiday you've had in the past or are enjoying now.

The Rules:

Keep in mind, this is a monitored group and there are only a couple of rules, which are:

Make sure you put this (WWE, 12/19/12, Holiday Romance) in your title.

Be sure to tag it with WWE, Gather Writing Essentials, Holiday Romance. Post to Gather Writing Essential.

I ask that you make your submission(s) by next Tuesday afternoon.

There is a limit of three submissions from each member per day. If you’re extremely prolific, spread out your work and post only three submissions per day.

Most important:

Put this challenge statement at the beginning or end of your submission so readers will know what you’re supposed to do and won’t think you’re crazy.

Challenge: Write us a holiday romance. A Christmas romance, Hannukah romance or any romance involving a holiday you're celebrating this time of year or any other time of year.

Romance! Wow! With a big, red, velvet bow!

I'm anxious to see what you've started with that prompt, Pam!

Pam Brittain Dec 19, 2012, 2:50pm UTC

Believe it or not, I haven't started one. I'm more in the mood to read your response and others.

Connie C. Dec 20, 2012, 4:00am UTC

Pam is in the mood for romance not for romancing. . .
