"I had no intention of pursuing either the characters or the setting further"
- Stephen R. Donaldson
About this Quote
This quote by Stephen R. Donaldson recommends that he had no plans to continue discussing the characters or setting he had actually currently produced. This might mean that he was finished with the story he had been writing, or that he had no strategies to compose anymore stories in the exact same universe. It might also indicate that he had no plans to revisit the characters or embeding in any future works. This might be due to the fact that he felt he had actually already checked out the characters and setting enough, or because he wished to carry on to something brand-new. Whatever the reason, it is clear that Stephen R. Donaldson had no intention of pursuing either the characters or the setting further.
