Ordinary life is pretty complex stuff.
You do not pursue potential conflict unless you hold power over your foe.
It makes you feel good to know that there's other people afflicted like you.
I'm sure someone out there has a workable solution. But what do I know? I make comic books and write about jazz. I do know the difference between right and wrong, though.
Life is about women, gigs, an' bein' creative.
I think you can find all the elements that you can find in great literature in mundane experiences.
