Quote

For years, I felt I was a novelist, but now I know I can write short fiction.

I am ambidextrous. I write with my right hand but played basketball in high school with my left.

It got to the point where most of my time went toward writing novels. I would still occasionally write short stories, but only when I was commissioned by an editor to write for a themed anthology or special issue.

I'm mostly a novelist these days, but I have written short stories in Fantasy, Science Fiction and horror.

I started writing short fiction very briefly, as I imagine is the case for some novelists.

I consider myself a writer. I don't favour any type of writing. I sometimes wish short stories came more easily to me.

I like the physical action of writing down by hand, and I don't just use it for writing my fiction.

I started writing because I wanted to write scripts, but I wasn't very good at it. Then I started writing short stories, sort of as treatments for the film scripts, and I found I enjoyed writing short stories far more than I enjoyed writing film scripts. Then the short stories got longer and longer and suddenly, I had novels.

My personality has two sides: a very social side and a reclusive side. I love writing fiction, although I can't imagine ever being locked up in a room writing all the time.

I tend to be more of a novel writer. In fact, some of my novels started out as short stories, and I just got carried away! I think some of my best writing is in the short story form, but novels come more naturally to me.
