I was *alive* in the 80s! I don’t *remember* it, but I was *alive*, so it can’t be historical fiction! I also steered clear of WWII, but I opted for going farther back instead ^.^

At first I actually groaned out loud because romance is not my thing (romantic comedy would have been worse, but I guess since I had comedy in the first round the universe just had to make sure all the boxes were ticked somehow). Now though that I've written and tweaked my round 2 story a few times and am finally happy with the version I have uploaded (for what it is), I appreciate having been given genres I was less drawn to in the list of possibilities. It's challenging, but in a good way. It's also very freeing. If I received a trio of prompts that I felt like I should be able to kick 100 word butt with, I'd probably choke, haha. No pride lost here by losing with romance! Hey groupmate! I feel the same way about romance and comedy. If it makes you feel any better, my last 5 rounds in NYC Midnight have been: comedy, romance, comedy, romantic comedy, and romance. In protest... I wrote a very dark, dystopian romance.

I've always dreaded romance a little bit and I groaned when I got this prompt--it didn't help that I initially read the word "mine" as "mime" and I was screaming to my husband that I had to write 100 words about a lovesick mime doing laundry--but suddenly an idea came to me and I wrote it and I'm nearly certain it's complete. I'm going to sleep on it, and I still need a title, but holy moly. As someone who generally procrastinates until the last minute, I'm pretty shocked.

This was my prompt as well, and I also thought it said "mime"!

I kept coming up with romantic comedy ideas and I knew from having this genre before that mixing in comedy can technically take it off-genre.

My entire house is torn apart for remodeling and I am trying to follow the contractor around as he finishes stuff and do all the painting to save money, so that's what I was doing yesterday until i had a major back spasm because I'm too old for this sh*t. I also hate the paint I chose, but whatever. So I finally came up with an idea and crawled onto the couch and wrote it while my family ate Jimmy Johns and watched The Shining. I think it's ok. I'm happy with it.
