I care about narrative structure; I care about how stories unfold.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like the story writing process. I usually use someone who has been trained for structure to take the story that I actually want, place those elements in the right places.
I love the early process of asking questions about a story and deciding which questions matter most.
Anyway, stories bring us together to find common ground, to find our way through life together, or just to entertain us, and I am just thrilled to be a part of that process.
You know, we love stories and we love narrative; we love to get lost in an author's world.
My sister-in-law believes that few narratives are so tightly constructed that you can't skip boring bits and still keep abreast of what's going on.
My style of writing is to allow the story to unfold on its own. I try not to structure my work too rigidly.
The creative process; I enjoy thinking up the stories and situations for my books.
I write and draw from the gut. I often don't know what my stories are about until they're done.
Sometimes stories are inherently important whether or not they have a direct relation to your life.
I believe in broken, fractured, complicated narratives, but I believe in narratives as a vehicle for truth, not simply as a form of entertainment, though I love entertainment, but also a way of conveying what needs to be conveyed about the works that I care about.
