One word, one letter: "I," and everyone thinks I've really done it. My friends are angry I've been keeping secrets from them. My family thinks I need professional help.
Listen. I've never lost my cousin in a car accident, or my girlfriend to a movie star. I've never joined a band of outlaws, or gotten tackled by airport security. I've never had to watch my best friend die, or keep my wife from killing me in her sleep.
So please. Calm down. Remember it's just fiction.
And please, don't ever mistake me for that loser, Kurt West. He's messed up.
The perils of writing in the first person. ;)
