Holiday Romance

Begin with

1. Twelve Days at Frost Lodge

   A booking glitch means you and a grumpy novelist must share a snowbound mountain cabin for the twelve days before Christmas.

   Your role: A holiday-obsessed event planner who desperately needs a break

2. The Ornament Shop

   Your family's 80-year-old Christmas ornament shop will close on December 26 unless you win the town's holiday window contest, against the handsome new shop owner across the street.

   Your role: A glassblower keeping a family legacy alive

3. Home for the Lights

   Your parents think you are bringing your girlfriend home for the Festival of Lights. You are not. Your best friend volunteers to play the part, and she is far too good at it.

   Your role: A software developer with a big, loud, loving family

Start a premise as written, or make it yours with your own hero, style, tropes and intensity. Every scene after the first is written around your choices.
