My next story, heaven help me




If you've been following Kris's blog (see previous post), you'll know that the selections have been made.  Her readers voted on and chose the following elements to be included in a short story that I will write:

Setting: A stuck elevator
Background on protagonists: One of them sings when he gets nervous
Another miscellaneous character: An inebriated priest/minister/whatever
Conflict: They had a one-night stand that one of them can't remember
Object to be mentioned in the story somewhere: An ice sculpture

Yes. Well.  Oh, and this is to be done so she can post it for Valentine's Day.

I'm going to have a drink now.

  6. You know what my worst fear is? Not that I'll write it and it'll suck, but that I'll write it and people will read it and go "Meh...it was o-kay..."
