I mainly want to write the stories that I want to read, but haven't because no one has written them yet. My interest in possibilities leads me to fiction and sci-fi and fantasy more often than not.
Special credit to Steven King for explaining to me what writing is (SPOILERS: it's telepathy) and to Prof. John Morgan for teaching me that the stories of life generally break down into Comedy and Horror, and how much the latter has to say about what we're usually too afraid to say about ourselves.
