New Spider-Man lore just dropped.
Google AI says: "This line, 'This, like any story worth telling, is all about a girl' means that the story being told is centered around a female character, implying that her journey and experiences are the most important aspects of the narrative, making her the focal point of the plot."

Wherein George Saunders speaks directly to the block that I have on my current story.
Whereas, when I say to my book: “Look, pal, I need you to be great and thereby fulfill my life’s purpose,” this makes my book nervous, and it stops talking to me.

Happy Halloween! Here's a very tiny story about a mummy in a department store.
