I think writing, or you can, I'm sorry, you can call it fiction. Yes. Writing a nonfiction book. God, I feel like there'd be a lot of pressure, especially if it's going to be anything other than a historic event that you can really, really research.

The reader, though, the average reader doesn't know where the authenticity and the fiction aspect is rolled on top of it.

I haven't thought about it like that. I feel like that could be kind of cathartic to write maybe the antagonist character, but it's all based on your own character traits that you wish you could change. Like I'm going to create an asshole. Maybe nobody will realize it's me. What an interesting way to be able to fucking deal with that.

Houses. Unfortunately, probably every building in Hogan's Alley has a horrendous backstory at some point in time all rolled together. Hey, something happened at a theater. Maybe we should practice on this. Hey, something happened at a post office.

Let me ask you this. So you've written how many books? Ten. Have you ever... in the writing process, written a book and gotten it to a place where you would make no additional changes? Or at some point, do you have to turn it in to an editor and say, please help me because I've stared at this so much that I'm losing my fucking mind.
