And playing around is all right. Some of my better stories came into existence because I was fucking around with language.
But at some point in the process, it's usually necessary to take the work seriously. Yeah, okay, so I'm making fun of the concept of pirates by writing about my pet rats taking to the open seas, but where's the life of this story? The core of it? The fun of it? Where can it go?
