In writing a weird story, I always try very carefully to achieve the right mood and atmosphere and place the emphasis where it belongs.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Whenever I write, I try and approach my stories from some kind of universal theme or idea or emotion.
I have always tended toward a lush prose style, but I take care to modulate it from story to story and to strip it down entirely when necessary.
I often start writing in order to excite an expansive emotion.
In everything I write, I'm always striving to hit the right mix of light and darkness, humor and pain, fun and seriousness.
I like to write with a lot of emotion and a lot of power. Sometimes I overdo it; sometimes my prose is a little bit too purple, and I know that.
Writers have to be observant. Every nuance, every inflection in a voice, the quality of air, even - they all get mixed up in this soup of the story developing in our minds.
I always kind of think I don't have a style, just whatever seems to be appropriate for the story.
Every story I write starts with a dilemma or a theme. Once I am convinced that this is the issue that is perturbing my thoughts, I start to look for characters capable of representing it.
The older I get, the more I seek to use a plain prose style, concentrating more on story.
I don't have a style. I just try to write what the story demands.
