"I've never seen myself as a fantasy writer - ever"

This quote by Jonathan Carroll speaks to the idea that he does not consider himself to be a dream author. This could be interpreted in a few different methods. Firstly, it could imply that he does not write fantasy stories, however rather concentrates on other categories. Additionally, it could suggest that he does rule out himself to be an especially good dream writer, or that he does not feel comfortable writing in the fantasy genre. It could also suggest that he does not feel that his writing style is suited to the dream genre. Whatever the case, it is clear that Jonathan Carroll does rule out himself to be a fantasy writer. This could be due to an uncertainty in his capability to write in the genre, or merely because he prefers to concentrate on other genres.
