The most challenging and exciting aspect is the outline and formation of the plot points. This is the stage where the notion of the story begins to take shape, and I can see glimpses of what is to come.

I love good stories; you have to have a good plot - characters which intertwine with a good plot.

I love stories. I just enjoy telling stories and watching what these characters do - although writing continues to be just as hard as it always was.

I hate being bored when I read a story. Even a well-trod theme can be made fresh by a different perspective or fresh writing.

I like to allow a story to arise as I'm writing scripts. I find it horrible when I try to think of something for the plot without really being on the ground and seeing where it goes.

You set up a story and it turns inside out and that is, for me, the most exciting sort of story to write. The viewer thinks it's going to be about something and it does the opposite.

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.

The unfolding of a story is both as exciting and as difficult for each and every novel I've written, regardless of time and place.

I'm one of the lucky writers: plots come easily to me.

It is in your DNA to love a good story. You know, neat tales with heroes and villains and conflicts to resolve. A good story pushes our buttons, is exciting and memorable.
