I'm not going to play, because I already wrote three stories this week that are you, you know ... kind of like actual stories? They took a lot of work to make sure they meant what I thought they meant, because you know ... stories often don't. So you have to work hard at it and agonize over words and sentences and punctuation and well, just about everything.

I've got a queue full of stories I have to help people with. "What does this sentence mean? I don't get it." Or ... "Check out how I took out half the words in that paragraph and it still says exactly the same thing. Can you go through your story and try to do that with other paragraphs?"

Stream of consciousness? Can I just get a Tylenol and another cup of coffee instead? 🤣
