Do you remember where you were on New Year’s Eve 1999? I sure do! It inspired a fictional short story that I published a few years ago. The story still nagged at me, and through this process, I was able to explore it more deeply, create new characters and situations, and see a different, stronger version come to life. My protagonist deals with some harsh realities from the kitchen of a hotel ballroom 15 minutes to midnight. Given that I spent Y2K working in a hotel, this has been, to say the least, cathartic.
