A story is open-ended. A story invites you into it to make your own meaning.

Pretty much anything you care to imagine can happen in a fantasy, which in turn means you can really crank up the intensity of the tale you're telling.

I believe that the writer should tell a story. I believe in plot. I believe in creating characters and suspense.

Stories and narratives are one of the most powerful things in humanity. They're devices for dealing with the chaotic danger of existence.

I love how a story can help someone discuss something they otherwise would not.

As a writer, I'm more interested in what people tell themselves happened rather than what actually happened.

You set up a story and it turns inside out and that is, for me, the most exciting sort of story to write. The viewer thinks it's going to be about something and it does the opposite.

The stories I write are often literal to events that have happened or observations that I've made, and sometimes they're fantastical.

Fans want to see a story with characters, and they want to see a story.

I'm not really a plot writer - I'm more interested in the characters and sort of small events that propel the story forward.
