I tell the story by feel most of the time, and I am not much given to labyrinthian digressions but seem to be naturally drawn to compression and pace, and the feelings come about on their own.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I enjoy scenes in films, which do not have the pressure of the story so much... and it flows. I've tried to go in that direction.
I have no particular reader in mind, but a passionate desire to tell an honest, moving story.
Stories lie deep in our souls. Stories lie so deep at the bottom of our hearts that they can bring people together on the deepest level. When I write a novel, I go into such depths.
The stories that I like to tell and the movies I like are always grounded in the emotional arc of the characters.
I no longer feel attracted to the well-made novel. I want to write the story that will zero in and give you intense, but not connected, moments of experience. I guess that's the way I see life. People remake themselves bit by bit and do things they don't understand.
I have always loved story - I escaped within it as a child, I read every day, I love figuring out the complex layers of an author's work.
I want the reader to feel something is astonishing - not the 'what happens' but the way everything happens. These long short story fictions do that best, for me.
Many people tell me that they don 't know what to feel when they finish one of my books because the story was dark, or complicated, or strange. But while they were reading it, they were inside my world and they were happy. That's good.
I love my stories being multi-layered, and coming at it from different angles, so that you don't understand the film's true emotional motivation until the very end.
All my fiction starts from a feeling of unique perception, the pressure of a secret, a story that needs to be told.
