I’ve pretty much decided that, in the long run, novels aren’t my medium. I love them, and I’ve said before that most of my ideas lend themselves to the form, but I don’t really think that this is where my passion as a writer lies. I’m happiest when I’m working on something for the stage or screen, and have been since I was fourteen.

At the same time, the project I’m working on right now is a novel. And, so far, I’m quite happy with it. (That means little – I’m always happy with my first drafts, when they’re going well.) I still want to write a novel that I’m happy with, even if I don’t really want to be a novelist. I’m going to keep trying.
