'Can you Write it?' Is a book full of writing challenges ranging from beginner to expert writers, in various styles and formats. I was VERY fortunate to receive a copy for my birthday, and have decided to post each writing challenge I complete as I do them. Enjoy and if a challenge sparks your interest, feel free to comment your own work on it. :)
Note: I will not be going in order of the book. I will be picking the challenge that intrigues me the most.

Raven's Heir | ONC 2021 honourable mention
Sandrine is reluctant to take the job as a ghost hunter, despite her ancestral gift. And when she meets her boss and future partners, every fibre of her being tells her to quit-but she needs the money. How hard can it be to dispel the ghost of a bird? Soon, she finds herself fighting the advances of a medieval playboy, targeted by a flock of ectoplasmic ravens, and trying to solve the puzzle of the cottage in the lake. With disaster waiting around the corner, she truly has no time for a budding romance, right? ~ ~ ~ My entry for the open novella contest 2021. Prompts: No 5: There is a terrible drought ravaging the land, but when the waters recede from the local lake/reservoir, they reveal something no one expected to find. No 64. What should have been a simple task for a trio of ghost hunters quickly becomes something for which the term 'Worst Case Scenario' is the mother of all understatement. No 61. I would've lived longer if it weren't for Lorraine. There's only one issue... who's Lorraine?
