There's Nothing Like Stories On

You Know, Small Children Take It As A Matter Of Course That Things Will Change Every Day And Grown-ups Understand That Things Change Sooner Or Later And Their Job Is To Keep Them From Changing As Long As Possible.

The Work Starts To Feel Like Work, And For Most Writers That Is The Smooch Of Death.
