>I can't keep making the characters say something like "Well I'm just a simpleton who doesn't know how this works."
I dunno man, that's worked pretty well for Denzel Washington.
I really love these interviews. They're crazy inspiring and I get a weird enjoyment out of learning things about people.
Also, that Scab story sounds pretty fucking cool. Even the angel wings bit.
Also also, give Q10 a try for a writing program. Heard about it through /u/BloodworthOOC. It's super simple and takes up the entire screen, kinda cool.
