I'm not first and foremost interested in story and the what-happens, but I'm interested in who's telling it and how they're telling it and the effects of whatever happened on the characters and the people.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm not really a plot writer - I'm more interested in the characters and sort of small events that propel the story forward.
What we want to see is stories that are going to be honest stories about the characters that we're telling them about.
I always look for good stories and good characters, and if they're placed in a whodunit, then I'm interested.
I wanted to tell a story that interested me as much in the telling as in the watching.
I believe that the writer should tell a story. I believe in plot. I believe in creating characters and suspense.
And meanwhile, the storytellers like me and Anderson, Silverberg... we tell stories. People like them. They want to know how it comes out, they want to know what the ending is.
As a writer, I'm more interested in what people tell themselves happened rather than what actually happened.
I'm first and foremost interested in the story, the characters.
I am as interested in seeing what happens to my characters as any reader; that is why I tell kids that writers write for the same reason readers read - to find out the end of the story.
I'm interested in telling the character's story, not my beliefs, political or otherwise.
