Remember that 'plumber in space' is not such a bad setup for a story.
When you put on a clown suit and a rubber nose, nobody has any idea what you look like inside.
When you write you tell yourself a story. When you rewrite you take out everything that is NOT the story.
I never had any friends later on like the ones I had when I was 12 - Jesus, did you?
I was built with a love of the night and the unquiet coffin.
I win, you win. You win, I win. The gun, I win. The fruit, you win. I win, you win.
