My stories are very compact. I want them to say the most complex things in the simplest way.

You can't write just anything. Your story needs structure.
I just want to be part of great stories that are told and for them to be relevant.
With short stories, you can always see the whole, but it's just so hard to get everything you want into that small form.
I've dropped myself into straightforward character pieces in order to explore that form and reap its values. But you are sort of restricted visually when your first requirement is to tell a fairly straightforward story.
My style of writing is to allow the story to unfold on its own. I try not to structure my work too rigidly.
I suppose I do have an interest in stories that show complexity.
The way to tell a really big story, I think, is to tell a really small story.
A story is how we construct our experiences.
The kinds of stories I want to be a part of telling are about delving into what it is to be a human being.
When I am writing anything in general, I just want to tell the story that exists in my head; I don't try to write a parable or make a point.
