I don't want to think that the stories are finite; I want to feel that they can go on forever.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wouldn't like to just do one story or one type of stories all the time.
There really isn't a story that you can't tell inside of it. It's very much a clearinghouse for anything that goes on in the world. So you're not at all limited.
Stories are different every time you tell them - they allow so many possible narratives.
Folk tales and myths, they've lasted for a reason. We tell them over and over because we keep finding truths in them, and we keep finding life in them.
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.
It's a luxury to be able to tell a long form story. I love novels, and I love to have a long relationship with characters.
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.
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.
A story really isn't truly a story until it reaches its climax and conclusion.
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.
