I would not send a first story anywhere. I would give myself time to write a number of stories.

You have only so many chances to tell stories. I didn't want to be forever wedded to one form of storytelling when there are so many out there.

I still write the occasional short story, and poked at a novel once, but it's just not what I want to do.

I don't have a plan for a story when I sit down to write. I would get quite bored carrying it out.

Stories are different every time you tell them - they allow so many possible narratives.

I could come up with 50 stories that I am thinking about.

I'm really into the idea of telling stories. Everyone needs stories. Everyone needs to escape every once in a while.

Basically, I just write whatever story grabs me rather than considering the genre.

I'd love to do a whole series of stories and have them collected into books.
