Don't stop. Narrow your focus to one idea, and make it work. That will give birth to all of the others. All you can do is plant the seed and water it.

I'm not afraid to have a character say, 'I am a Christian,' or, 'I believe in God,' because I think they represent real people on this Earth.

You know, people don't want their intelligence insulted. They don't want to be preached to. They don't want to be degraded.

Do this and you have common sense.
