I Think The Close Work I Do

I Am Simply Not Interested, At This Point, In Creating Narrative Scenes Between Characters.

I Would Recommend, Definitely, Developing A 'day Job' That You Like - Don't Expect To Make Money Writing!

I Don't Believe, In The End, That There Is Any Such Thing As No Style. Even A Very Neutral, Plain Style, One That Doesn't Use Colloquialisms, Lyrical Flourishes, Heavy Supplies Of Metaphor, Etc., Is A Style, And It Becomes A Writer's Characteristic Style Just As Much As A Thicker, Richer Deployment Of Idiom And Vocabulary.

To Be Simple, I Would Say A Story Has To Have A Bit Of Narrative, If Only "she Says," And Then Enough Of A Creation Of A Different Time And Place To Transport The Reader.

I Started With Small-press Publishers, Who Were Willing To Publish All Sorts Of Forms. I Didn't Move To The Larger Presses Until They Knew What They Were Getting In For.
