More clouds
I got this story of a war of mages for a long time now. I tried to write it down, together with friends we managed to create half a book now but the story leads somewhere else and i believe the only way to get out is to start completely new all by myself. Perhaps this book gets finished someday, but it won't match my intention nevertheless. Could be the reason for my clouded mind as soon as i sit down to go on writing.

The dear (fictional) colleagues
Buffy Summers: Does it ever get easy?
Rupert Giles: You mean life?
Buffy Summers: Yeah, does it ever get easy?
Rupert Giles: What do you want me to say?
Buffy Summers: Lie to me.
Rupert Giles: Yes. It's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true.
The bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats,
and we always defeat them and save the day.
No one ever dies... and everyone lives happily ever after.
Buffy Summers: Liar.
