With All Respects To Heaven, I Like

Sometimes, In Life, Nothing Happens. But, Sometimes, Nothing Happens Beautifully.

Even If You're Going To Die, You Might As Well Die Pretty.

I Love Short Stories. They're Like Small Imploding Universes. They Are Very Tightly Bound And Controlled. I'd Been Wanting To Write One For Ages But Just Got Tangled Up In Novels. The Novel Is The Same In The Sense That It Is Also A Universe, But It Explodes Outwards With All That Shrapnel Going In Several Different Directions. I Don't See Too Much Difference In The Forms Except For The Fact That Writing Short Stories Is Like Sprinting Rather Than Long-distance Running.

I Have Different Books For Different Times Of The Day, Let Alone Different Seasons Of The Year!

I Grew Up Sort Of Middle Class, Safe And Suburban.
