I have my concept, premise and outline, but like the other chapter book writers, I can't seen to get my muse inspired. I'm determined not to give up because I'm excited about the storyline, knowing that when the right mood strikes it will take off. Fingers crossed it will happen soon. :)CarolineFrye.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00158333641073753659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115786557639856820.post-76887210532791978452019-03-16T07:46:50.768-07:002019-03-16T07:46:50.768-07:00I'm glad ChaBooCha helps you write your storie...I'm glad ChaBooCha helps you write your stories!

I'...Thanks so much for sharing about your month. I've had lots of non-writing activities going on and feeling guilty about not getting far with my CB like I had planned. But, Chapter Book Challenge has the effect of putting these works at the top of my list, so that they get finished eventually, even if not all in one month. Otherwise, I think they would fall to the bottom and never see the light of day. I'm thankful for this group and your words of encouragement and honesty. :-) SD Sutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15773763635368262813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115786557639856820.post-2862682442133815492019-03-15T17:59:07.248-07:002019-03-15T17:59:07.248-07:00I saw this challenge a few weeks ago and wasn'...I saw this challenge a few weeks ago and wasn't sure if it was happening this year -- so glad to see it is! (Just signed up late.) Wishing you quick recoveries from all the challenging things coming your way -- thank your for your honesty in sharing them, so that all excuses pale by comparison :)<br /><br />This is a totally new genre for me, and I truly appreciate the chance to link up with others doing the same thing. Finished book 1 in January/February (just over 6K words), and now March is for book 2, am at 2636 words (so that qualifies as "behind" I believe). Have not written for 2 days, so the inspiration in this blog I'm sure will set me to work tomorrow. Thanks so much!<br /><br />--Elisaelisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998814166048903507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115786557639856820.post-15266159279405205662019-03-15T16:32:38.617-07:002019-03-15T16:32:38.617-07:00Oh my goodness!

I'm amazed that your are able to take time for this wonderful challenge. Will keep your family in prayer. <br /><br />I've been dipping in and out of ChaBooCha as I was involved in preparing one sheets and a proposal for a conference I attended from the 6th through the 10th and then post-conference follow-up. Thanks to a discussion with an editor where I was challenged to write an idea in BOTH picture book and chapter book format, I'm about 690 words into the story. I was even able to see where the end of the first chapter could land. Now to develop from there into the next chapters. Thanks for keeping us going with your encouraging words! :)Rene Diane Aubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199359016249864883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115786557639856820.post-24391658674306862682019-03-15T14:02:14.921-07:002019-03-15T14:02:14.921-07:00I hope your family gets well soon!

Alas, I'm not as far along on my book as I hoped to be, and it being St Patty's Day wkend, no writing will be taking place! :) However, I've been jotting lots of notes down & have an outline.
