Not exactly, but close enough.

I’ve enjoyed so many free stories written for the Goodreads MM Romance Group’s annual “Don’t Read in the Closet” events and this year I took the plunge and grabbed a prompt! I almost had the ovaries to do it last year, but not quite. Last year I didn’t think I could write a good story in so short a time. If my first edits for Not the Doctor are any indication, that’s not really a problem. 🙂

I was incredibly lucky and managed to claim Jenna Jones’ prompt and I’ve written over 3,000 words since yesterday afternoon. I’m excited to share it with everyone—I hope you’ll all help me make it great, 8 sentences at a time.

The picture Jenna posted is of the adorable actor Sebastian Stan (if he or any of his people want me to take this down, I’ll be happy to).

Dear Author,

Please use this excerpt as a prompt:

O’ God it’s wonderful
to get out of bed
and drink too much coffee
and smoke too many cigarettes
and love you so much

— from “Steps” by Frank O’Hara

Any setting or time period. A slice-of-life story would suit me fine. No BSDM, violence, mpreg, or shifters, please.

Thank you,

Jenna
