Over the month of November, Novelo is inviting authors to submit short stories to this month's challenge. Every month we will be hosting a writing challenge. For the month of November, we invite you to write a story that that starts with "The frozen lake cracked beneath his feet." As with anything you write on Novelo, you will keep the rights to the story you submit to this challenge however we reserve the right to use parts of it (such as cover, blurb, etc) to promote Novelo on our social media accounts.

Listen to the Lady of the Lake

Great job in every aspect ... tension, good verbal footwork, contemporary link, and some fists flying.  

Echoes in the Cold

Touching, but how did the mother bear suddenly come from the depths? Is she a dedicated apnoe diver? Well, still a nice story ... 

Cracked

Okay, this is another script that has been recycled (as so very many here), but at least this is halfway interesting despite the horrible interpunction and general low readability. Keep going, but be a tad more thorough at proof-reading and thus gentler to your reader, please. 

Breaking the ice

Impressive! I am no ice-skater, but a former ballet dancer, and I must say the depiction of the moves and general physics is spot-on. You can almost feel how you dance on ice yourself. Cheers to the author!

P.S. There are some typos.
