Reader feedback certainly makes a story pop for me because it's so interactive. But the writing? There are dozens of stories that were so ... exhilarating that I don't think I'll ever forget the process of writing them: word choices, crafting a particular sentence, where I was, what I might have been eating and/or drinking, whatever music or movie may have been playing in the background.<br /><br />It's all about the writing.<br /><br />StephenStephen D.

The process was a challenge. In fact, after the collection had been accepted by the publisher, I sent not one rearrangment but two. And if I was putting it together again, I'd do it differently.<br /><br />When I first saw the cover, my first thought was of a story I didn't include. Whenever I talk to someone about the book, I think of a story I didn't include.<br /><br />Maybe there needs to be an extended dance version.Stephen D.
