First off, I am not a crazy person. Does my writing really make me seem like some nut? I hope not. I guess I am drawn to dark characters, strange situations, and unlikely circumstance. Think about it this way. Do you want to read a story about happy people living their happy lives in their happy home? No, obviously. That would be awful. More than awful in fact. Truth be told, I haven't really dedicated myself to writing one of these stories yet. I sit down at my computer and, about two hours later, I have my story. But crazy. I don't think it comes across as crazy. I've always wanted to be the big idea writer. The one that changes the world for years to come. A stroke of the pen can do a lot, I find, and I want to be the first in a long time to really motivate change with a few drops of ink. For my next piece, I want to dedicate myself. As a warning to my group: it might be long. It might be dense. It might not even make any sense, but I am dedicated (and hopefully, will still be when I sit down to write) to creating something special. I don't know what's come over me, but there was something about my drug-crazed characters that really shocked me into wanting to express something more.

Craig, you are crazy... but crazy is not always a bad thing. I have to say I am really looking forward to your next story. Long and dense is cool as long as it is interesting.
