"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.

"From beginning to end it's about keeping the energy and the intensity of the story and not doing too much and not doing too little, but just enough so people stay interested and stay involved in the characters"
"They weren't impatient for the boys to turn into cartoons again. They awarded sympathy, gave compassion. Because deep down they had found parts of themselves in the characters. You said it George"
"And I have to credit David Jacobs with the opportunities he gave me. He was totally into sharing the creation of characters. David put together a show that told the story of people over many years' time and that was greatly enjoyable. Though nowadays that is frowned upon"
"I plot the first 5 or 6 chapters quite minutely, and also the end. So I know where I am going but not how I'm going to get there, which gives characters the chance to develop organically, as happens in real life as you get to know a person"
"I think for anybody reading the book they're going to get an idea in their heads of all those characters, and I think that once that gets fixed, it's quite hard to shake"
