Some NWW philosophies about various aspects of writing FICTION: "As a writer of FICTION, I know I am lying to the reader. I am committed to telling such enthralling lies that the reader will not only believe the story, but will not want to leave my fictional world until THE END. And, even then, my characters will haunt their memories and dreams." "I write SHORT STORIES to concisely create character, setting, and the conflict of one pivotal event in a complex life in the demanding , cohesive structure of Beginning, Middle, Ending." "I write CHILDREN'S STORIES to use simple though vivid words that will relate to the targeted age without speaking down." "I write NOVELS to delve into authentic details, explore character depths and ultimately create an enthralling story that will involve the reader for 400 pages in a balanced structure of Beginning, Middle, Ending."
