Why You Should Never Compare Your Work with Another Author's
A writer recently asked on Quora the following, and I’m paraphrasing: “I used to love writing fiction, but lately I find myself comparing myself too closely to other, better authors in my genre, and so should I just give up?”
The answer, of course, is no. If you love to write fiction, you should never give up. Giving up is the number one way you can fail as a writer. If you give up, it’s over. If y Read more of this blog post »

“I saw the raptor’s teeth again, this time right outside the open window. I waited for the creature to dart inside and try to peck at my face, but it instead leaped to the windshield. “Oh my God!” Frankie yelled. “What do I do? I can't see!” “Wait a second!” I shouted. I jerked my head around. “Mr. Balm? Don’t you have a gun?” “What?” “You said you had a gun, right?” He blocked his backpack with his hands. “Yes, but it’s only for emergencies.” “Emergencies? What the hell do you call this, Sherlock?”

“I turned to Frankie, who looked like he wanted to cry. “Frankie, go faster. And don’t freak out.” “Freak out? Why would I freak out? There’s just a goddamned dinosaur on the car!”

“The truth of life is that every year we get farther away from the essence that is born within us. We get shouldered with burdens, some of them good, some of them not so good. Things happen to us. Loved ones die. People get in wrecks and get crippled. People lose their way, for one reason or another. It's not hard to do, in this world of crazy mazes. Life itself does its best to take that memory of magic away from us. You don't know its happening until one day you feel you've lost something but you're not sure what it is. It's like smiling at a pretty girl and she calls you 'sir'. It just happens.”
