# The entire book is already written out in so much as the actual events (this is a rewrite remember)
It's just that making it funny, interesting or even vaguely well written is fucking difficult.

The original story made far too serious an attempt (and a really shit serious attempt at that) at showing the indecision in the main character's mind, and why despite the fact that an alien girl just jumped him and then cooked him breakfast afterwards he was still fairly nonplussed about the whole thing.

# Sounds like all men to me.
Nonplussed, angry or pompous.

# The main character was based on me.
So thanks for that one.

I still think terminal melacholy for a main character is a pretty brave choice though.
