When you stop viewing chaos as an end state to be avoided and start viewing it as the beginning and ongoing default state of most things in life then that becomes something that is either terrifying or incredibly liberating.

Your friends and family aren’t your audience and neither should they be.

I never attempt to write any message or moral into a plot because I find it comes out a little contrived. If you tackle any slice of life faithfully then life will speak to people without you having to spell anything out.

The business world and adult society only really made sense to me if they were supposed to be funny, but I didn’t see many other people laughing, so I started inventing my own worlds where life seemed more how it should be.
