And I didn't have any wiggle room to change anything because I'd already committed myself. So I basically won't talk about a book until it's done. But don't you think that all stories are potentially great stories. There are some really bad stories. I can always tell when I've got a bad story.
Some stories look really bad just in the idea.
You know right away, it's a boring idea. Some ideas seem really good and they just don't work in the outline. Can't pull it together. Some stories look fine in outline but when you sit down to write them everyone in the story says that they don't want to be in this story. Then you know you're in trouble and you better throw it away and start over.
