WARNING: Those who don’t remember my past are doomed to repeat it.

I’m Prancing As Fast As I Can is a coming of Gay story that takes us from a scared, self-hating kid who spends most of his time under his desk staring at the hunky man on the Doan’s Pills box, to becoming a writer on Will & Grace, helping to make it a little easier for other scared, self-hating kids who might also be hiding and staring at their secret desire. It’s a journey through Olympic mustaches and when Che´r’s name had an accent and losing your virginity to a trucker and chasing Gay bashers in six-inch heels dressed as a drag bunny and a terrible virus and memorials and memorials and memorials and ACTing UP and using the word “lover” and having a fan who’s also a serial killer and Gay penguins and spreading your boyfriends’ ashes with your new boyfriend and Prop 8 and getting to write lines for divas on Ugly Betty and Gay marriage and more stuff like that and in the end ketamine therapy to help it all make sense.

About the Author

Jon Kinnally was born in Syracuse, New York, and went to college at Oswego State, before  moving to a then-affordable Manhattan, where he pursued acting and performed with his  writing partner, Tracy Poust, in their comedy group Loud Blouse. 

After relocating to Los Angeles, they got a job on a new show called Will & Grace and  stayed with it for it’s entire eight seasons, eventually running it and returning for the  reboot. Over the years, there were many Emmy nominations as well as a Writers Guild  Award for Outstanding Writing in Episodic Comedy in 2018. 

He has also worked on several other shows with Tracy, including Ugly Betty—Emmy and  NAACP award nominations—and The Crazy Ones which they ran, and had the privilege to  write for the great Robin Williams.
