The plots have been hatched. The settings are settled. Now it is time for the literary team to convene.

Please peruse Tuesday’s entries in our NC Novel game. Vote for one story starter. Tomorrow we will write a chapter in our book using the wide range of our creative talents.

You have some interesting elements to consider from a body in a bathtub to preaching and eating on the church grounds to sailboats at sunset to wild Wilmington to Blowing Rock in the dead of winter.

Liked mdoodle's idea but I still vote for my own - Taffy's sandy surprise! ;)

I vote for Blowing Rock in winter!

I vote for Southport by mdoodle.

Just as long as it does not start with "It was a dark and stormy night".....

I really want to vote for myself (Blowing Rock in winter)- but I have to admit that I am also intriged with mdoodle.

mdoodle, I love a mysterious beginning.

I vote for mdoodle. We can go with mystery, history, romance, and comedy with that one!

I vote for the mysterious sailboat at Hatteras

I vote for the novel idea posted by mdoodle.

The church homecoming setting for sure......that beginning could take on 1oo different paths in a book.
