Keep it simple. Trust your imagination. Discover what is unique about your imagination. Don't simply read a story and copy it. I go into myself. Then I transcribe what visions I have. If those ideas are original, and you are devoted, you will go far.

After all, where can the glorious, the goofy, and the god-like stand shoulder to shoulder?

It was as though in these last minutes together - when they had so much to say - they could say nothing of the least significance, for fear it open the floodgates.
