"A good short-story writer has an instinct for sketching in just enough background to ground the specific story."

Instinct

"Once you've invested hundreds of hours in creating a coherent universe, your story's grown to around a half-million words and can't be written as anything less than a trilogy."

Universe

"I'm dense when it comes to discouragement."

Communication

"Short-story writing requires an exquisite sense of balance. Novelists, frankly, can get away with more. A novel can have a dull spot or two, because the reader has made a different commitment."

Balance

"It took me about 12 years to reach my million-word mark. The challenge now is to continue to challenge myself."

Challenge

"I've read short stories that are as dense as a 19th century novel and novels that really are short stories filled with a lot of helium."

Reading

"I'm not constrained by being a genre writer. Any story I can imagine, I can cast as a fantasy novel and probably get it published."

Being

"Editors of open anthologies actively seek submissions from all comers, established and unknown. They are willing to read whatever the tide washes up at their feet."

Diversity

"I do have a small collection of traditional SF ideas which I've never been able to sell. I'm known as a fantasy writer and neither my agent nor my editors want to risk my brand by jumping genre."

Creativity

"For me, writing a short story is much, much harder than writing a novel."
