I don't have a favorite. I need different genres at different times.

Different genres allow me to not feel so hemmed in by my own voice, tics, style.

Love is selfless, it is a weakness, a giving in, a constant falling.

As a writer, my main objective is to tell the story urgently - as if whispering it into one ear - and to know the characters intimately.

Being cross-genre, you can encounter an image and decide not only how to best express it but what form would express it best.

You learn to exploit genre for the more important things - to my mind - like story, character, image, language.

While I was in college becoming a good Catholic I was also becoming a writer - one haunted by Catholicism.
