"Everyone tells you that conflict is required to have yourself a story, but what is more difficult to explain is that it doesn’t necessarily mean: MAN WITH GUN ENTERS STORE OF KITTENS.  I thought it did, so I would try to get a man with a gun into every story.  It doesn’t help that Hemingway is taught in every damn high school class and he is like the eternal MAN WITH GUN."
