Although freightening to some, it alleviates the chore of verisimillitude that may be demanded to set a scene.

When I was 13 the only things that I can remember being particularly fond of were baseball and the Lonely Island - watching the Royal Tenenbaums on TV one night was (at risk of seeming trite) 'life changing' for even just the fact that my adolescent baseball career was on the decline and I needed something new to invest my time in. The montage of Gene Hackman playing with his Adidas tracksuited grandsons set to 'Me & Julio Down By the Schoolyard' indoctrinated me into a life of whimsy, for better or worse.

"One of the most common and saddest spectacles is that of a person of really fine sensibility and acute psychological perception trying to write fiction by these qualities alone. This type of writer will put down one intensely emotional or keenly perceptive sentence after the other, and the result will be complete dullness. The facts is that the materials of the fiction writer are the humblest. Fiction is about everything human and we are made out of dust, and if you scorn getting yourself dusty, then you shouldn't try to write fiction. It's not a grand enough job for you."
