As a writer, I often have to come up with stories before any big events, like Christmas. And ever so often, these stories must be done way ahead of the Christmas spirit itself.

Like this year. There’s a Winter Contest over at Literotica, and I’m dying to participate. I know, I know. I don’t have to…. But I want to.

So, how do you come up with a new story that won’t be totally cliche and boring?

When I find the answer, I’ll let you know.

In the meantime, I’ll probably settle for cliche. As long as it’s not boring, right?
