"The architecture for 'Paladin' - given that it's at least three books, with the possibility of more ..." — Mark Frost

There's such a thing as being a little too perfect - a little too shiny. I know I prefer things that have room to breathe and give you a story, a world, in which you have the room to move around.

If you come in with all of the answers, you might create something that's very beautiful and powerful, but I think it will also seem sterile if you don't leave room for people to have their own reactions to it.

I want something that's going to linger and stay with me and give me something to think about and chew over. That's the real objective here; it creates something that doesn't feel disposable.

When I think of myself interacting with material that I like, that's the material that inherently appeals to me, that gives me room to have my own reaction.
