I just want to make stories. They don't have to have a moral or a reason. There might be some mild cautionary notes, but they're not moral. They don't impart any Judeo-Christian ethic of any kind.
Some of my high school teachers did remind me that I had an excellent imagination when it came to making up excuses.
I'm still astonished that somebody would offer me a job and pay me to do what I wanted to do.
