WRITERS ON WRITING #63: Robert Cormier
When I'm writing, I'm only conscious that I'm a storyteller first. I'm interested in creating real people, dramatic situations that will keep the reader turning pages. Then, if I can say here's the chance for me to explore ideas, that's great. I don't think of myself as a thematic writer, but as a storyteller. If they don't work as stories, then no one will read them, so the message would get lost anyway.
