People Don't Live Their Lives In A Series Of Scenes That Form A Dramatic Narrative, They Don't Speak In Dialogue, They're Not Lit By A Cinematographer Or Scored By A Composer. The Properties Of Real Life And The Properties Of Drama Have Almost Nothing To Do With Each Other. The Difference Between Writing About Reporters And Being A Reporter Is The Same As The Difference Between Drawing A Building And Building A Building.
