Lucy Taylor
When he was twenty-eight, my younger half-brother, whom I'd met only once, killed himself somewhere in Florida. I never knew how or why, although I'd heard he was troubled and had offered my phone number to a mutual acquaintance in case he eve wanted to talk. He never did. I found out about his death three or four months after the fact, informed by that same friend. My father's family never thought it necessary to even tell me, which was sad but not surprising.
So that's one thing that comes to mind. There are many others.

Lucy Taylor:
What form of fiction suits you best - novel, novella or short story? When you stumble upon a brilliant idea (probably most authors get their best ideas this way, I believe), do you simply go with the flow, seeing how it works or doesn't work, or you try to fit it into the form you desire? In other words, how much control do you impose on the story that is beginning to pan out?
