Have you ever written books based on your own experience or do you prefer to draw from other sources of inspiration? I still get this kind of criticism and I adore it. Later on I received huge amounts of useful criticism – ideas about how make my work better, given with respect for and interest in my projects – from editors and colleagues. The teacher didn't read my final stories because he said I was a "B student" and he knew it without reading them. I took one college fiction writing class and got a B. You mention you wrote your first novels in the third grade! How has your writing progressed since then and have you ever received criticism along the way? Some days I make something I am proud to have made. I especially like writers who aggressively use stylized language to create a unique world. I am inspired by writers of the Spiderman comic books, Monty Python, Evelyn Waugh, John Irving, and Alice Walker, among many, many others. I used to sit in the back of theaters and watch rehearsals, seeing how a story changed with revisions, cuts, changes in tone, lighting and inflictions. How did you discover your passion for writing?
