JUST KEEP WRITING. I ONLY HAVE DEEPLY PROFOUND "SERIOUS" INSPIRATION 2 OR 3 TIMES A YEAR. GOD GIVEN EVENTS! THE REST IS JUST SCREWING YOUR BUTT TO A CHAIR AND PLOWING THROUGH IT. IT'LL COME.

GRUELING WORK HAVING TO APPEAR SO CLEVER.)

THE TITLE. I USUALLY THINK OF THE TITLE FIRST. NO PARTICULAR REASON BUT I LIKE FASHIONING A TALE AROUND A TITLE. THAT, AND I WANTED TO SEE A 1972 MERCURY MONTEGO AFTER MIDNIGHT ON A COUNTRY ROAD ABOUT TO RUN OVER A DRUNK LYING IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
