Anything that exists on a time basis - that has a beginning, middle, and end, because you start watching it and then you're in the middle of watching it and then it ends - anything linear, for me, is narrative.

I need to observe the people, and I think I need to observe myself.

I, as a person, make anything a narrative experience because I experience things linearly. The biggest question for me, is will I go through a transformation? Will I be bored or not? Is it a good or bad narrative experience?

I want to be in control of drafting at least 80% the timing and cohesiveness of character and narrative. I want to be in control of giving you an experience, and want you to be acknowledged as an audience and can do things but only in a limited scope.

I always worry that me by myself, I'm doing the same thing I'm always doing and become too lazy and conservative in what I do, or too incestuous in my own thoughts.

Sympathy is towards someone else, versus empathy, which is feeling like someone else.
