Okay, I'm going to give this a try.

Someone (*cough* T) suggested I try writing stuff set in the real world.

I'm pretty unsure about this - I like being a genre author! - but I'm willing to give it a try.

Give me a couple real-world prompts and I'll see what I can do.

Pfft. How does he know that Addergoole isn't set in the real world? I mean, other than the timeline, of course :-P

Umm, okay, prompts.

* First day of college
* Moving into a new house
* A cat person and their cat(s) living a dog person and their dog(s)
* Dealing with disasters and crisis, you know, things like:
-- The internet's down.
-- The only restaurant in town on a road trip is the 'other' burger place
-- The boss got up on the wrong side of the bed today
-- Incompatible neighbors - for added awkwardness make it an apartment building rather than separate homes :)
* Two writers meeting for the first time at a coffee shop
* A new coffee shop/restaurant/store opening up in town.
* Prepping being useful in a non-apocalyptic crisis (pre-fall Planners story?)

That last one gave me not just one, but two amusing mental images, although I guess neither really fits the "real-life" thing...

First, someone taking a shower, except that the shower uses lots of tiny meteors instead of water.

Second, a meteor taking a shower (just floating in mid-air in the shower stall, with the water on).

I may have been exposed to too many puns and visual gags. :P
