Office Girl Besties

Where an aspiring literary fiction writer is led when he attempts to track the energy flows between two young women. As Art School drop-outs with no ongoing relationships or commitments tying them down, they have two things on their minds - men and having a good time. But one of them has a burden, and the other has a problem.

Any popular story has to have lots of conflict, confrontation, and incidents, so I'm adding two guys from well-to-do white families in the suburbs and two street-smart black guys who started life in Chicago's south side. All four guys attend Univ of Illinois-Chicago, visit the same nighttime hangouts as the girls, and could be described as players and/or badboys.

The story will follow conversations between Office Girl Besties Syd and Sam about their one-on-one relationships with these and other guys.

So, I just decided to add a couple more guys: Syd has a clueless long-distance acquaintance from her past who won't walk away from her, and Sam has a boy bestie friend from art school who is gay.

This low-stakes free-writing generates intuitive responses to prompts on a variety of chat topics. The goal is to learn by unpacking stories where the primary reader is the writer himself.
