I always kind of think I don't have a style, just whatever seems to be appropriate for the story.

The older I get, the more I seek to use a plain prose style, concentrating more on 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 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.

What moves me most is style: the quality of the writing rather than the story being told.

Storytelling is storytelling. Good stories need compelling characters and interesting conflicts. That's the bottom line no matter what medium you're writing for.

Whenever I write, I try and approach my stories from some kind of universal theme or idea or emotion.

Storytelling is fine as long as you can encourage people to act on the stories.

I like to think that I am telling a story rather than writing it.
