When I do outline (that is, when I'm writing a comicbook script or a long story I've got already figured out and just want to have clear in my head) ...

I've written romantic stories, but they're mostly pretty crude. You know, not mushy-mushy stuff, but things about phillandering, and failed romances, or one night flings, or guys... who feel guilty ...

Yeah, you have to plan an ending. I mean, not before you write the story up, but at least while you're typing a way, you have to have some idea ...

I go to parties. And drink. And talk to people. That's where I get all the stories, see?

That's esencially what I do. All the time. With my work, like. I mean, this novel I'm writing. I just sat down, and thought about one phrase, and then everything ...
