Cats like fish, but cats don't like water. When you are a famous writer, like myself, you recognise things like this about the world. We call this "conflict", a word that combines two ideas "con" and "flict". All great fiction must have its fair share of both con and…
The wings of buffalo.
Probably a fun hour searching, though.
I accept no responsibility.

I love all of this. Declaring that your passion will last as long as it takes for the council to send someone round with an angle-grinder.
