A short story is something that you can hold in your mind. You can really analyze how the entire thing works, like a machine.
The great thing about a short story is that it doesn't have to trawl through someone's whole life; it can come in glancingly from the side.
I think all good short stories are about what it means to tell a good story.
If a fantasy, if a story can help you feel something, I think that's really cool.
I want the reader to feel something is astonishing - not the 'what happens' but the way everything happens. These long short story fictions do that best, for me.
I still write the occasional short story, and poked at a novel once, but it's just not what I want to do.
I think it's almost easier to do a kissing scene with someone you don't know.
My favorite author is Anton Chekhov, not so much for the plays but for his short stories, and I think he was really my tutor.
I think once somebody is loved, they are somewhere in your heart still loved.
