I get tired of stories that keep going and going and never get anywhere. It's like a promise that's never fulfilled. Stories need endings. Otherwise, they aren't really stories. Just pages.

I've polished up stories for their reprinted appearances. I guess there's always something to be changed or improved, but one could get carried away and work on one story indefinitely. I'm too restless for that, too eager to begin the next one.

There are a few really fantastic stories left, and that kind of gives you some inspiration to find even new ones.

I have a bad tendency to get rapidly bored with my own material, so rewriting is hard for me. I mean, I already know the story and would rather read something new.

I've seen novels that have grown out of one story in a collection. But it hasn't occurred to me to take any of those stories and build on them. They seem very finished for me, so I don't feel like going back and dredging them up.

I really strive to bring something new to each book. I don't want to write the same book over and over again.

Anything you write, even if you have to start over, is valuable. I let the story write itself through the characters.

We decided we wanted the site to provide readers with fresh new stories to enjoy between major book releases by their favorite authors while allowing those same authors to flex their creative muscles.

I personally feel I still have so much to learn as a writer; each novel is better than the one before, just because I'm getting better at it.

I'm one of those people who think that stories should have a beginning, a middle and an end, and then they're over, and then you tell the next story.
