I didn't find the transition too difficult, it was really a lot of fun and very refreshing to write something in a totally different medium, very different from what I'm used to. I do have plans for more novels, but the next one might be closer to sci-fi.(less)

“When you give a feast, do not invite your friends or your rich neighbors, in case they might invite you in return, and you would be repaid,” she said, gazing down at her hands on the bar. “Invite the poor, the crippled, the lame and the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you.”
Gary Whitta, Abomination

“More than anything, he wanted them to know that even though they would grow up never knowing their father, it was not for the lack of his love for them. No, it was because he loved them so, because he was determined they have the life they deserved, that he had given everything to help secure it for them. That was the most bitter irony of war: The greatest acts of love for your family were the ones that kept you apart from them.”
Gary Whitta, Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View

“You'd think that people would have figured out by now that sticking a fork into the toaster is perhaps not the best idea. Oh well, score another point for Darwinism, I suppose.”
Gary Whitta, Death Jr., Vol. 2
