Ideally, I'd like every issue to include a diverse group of stories that meet the qualifications sketched above, but covering a wide range of specific matter and flavour.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that that is a wonderful format - you know, having individual stories over a period of weeks that are thematically connected in terms of genre - there's not enough of that out there.
With years of experience doing whatever it takes to get to the bottom of each story, I am looking forward to covering the stories in the human dimension and impart the passion and visceral reactions the audience seeks.
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 bright future is that readers are accepting more varied forms of stories.
The marketplace tells us that good, visceral storytelling has a place. But there are lots of questions about the format that stories take.
I just want to be part of great stories that are told and for them to be relevant.
I think you can get a sort of intensity and an edginess offering nine stories in a book. Competing versions of things.
There is a plethora of topics to explore. I sometimes think I may never live long enough to explore all of the unique story lines I have either in my head or waiting in my computer file.
Stories hold conflict and contrast, highs and lows, life and death, and the human struggle and all kinds of things.
I want to present interesting stories that don't qualify themselves just by virtue of their ethnographic type.
