This is probably the biggest misconception about writing fiction ... I mean, a lot of things "happen" in many excellent (particularly 'modern American') novels without there being a large, overarching tale construction. Bukowski's "Ham on Rye" has approximately nothing happen in the grander arch - the important things are the individual tales, the writing, etc.

Just start writing, and see what happens - you may just have more to say than you think.
