Mr. Fox: [sighs] Who am I, Kylie?
Kylie: Who how? What now?
Mr. Fox: Why a fox? Why not a horse, or a beetle, or a bald eagle? I'm saying this more as, like, existentialism, you know? Who am I? And how can a fox ever be happy without, you'll forgive the expression, a chicken in its teeth?
Kylie: I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds illegal. -Fantastic Mr. Fox

Imagine a blank sheet of paper.
Let it sit there and don't write a thing.
Let the paper write itself.
That's how you write.
You let the words pop off the page.
