Charlie Huston, author of the extremely addictive, hard-boiled Joe Pitt vampire novels (the latest in the series, Every Last Drop has just been released by Orbit in the UK and is my current reading) and the scribe responsible for so successfully rebooting Moon Knight for Marvel, is the guest on the excellent Bat Segundo podcast:
“…time constriction tends to manifest itself more in pushing the story forward very aggressively. In sometimes making choices that, fifty pages later, I wish I hadn’t made. Because there were implications I hadn’t considered, but with enough time to go back and unchoose that choice. So I have to do some more tap dancing to make it all work. And it also plays a large role in the extent to which I will more willingly embrace some genre conventions and cliches that I might otherwise try to find ways to steer around if I had a little more time.”
