It’s easy to romanticize the past from a healthy distance, and with a mature perspective. Ideally, one contextualizes previous struggles as stepping-stones to one’s current condition, since the present is all that ever truly matters. You can’t change the past, but you still have a shot at altering your future – and for writers with a bold independent streak, that’s never been more true.

A lot of us get into the writing game because we want to be the “new Stephen King” or the “new E.L. James” or the “new Michael Crichton” or the “new Barbara Kingsolver”…well, you get it. My influences as a youthful scribe were J.D. Salinger, Raymond Chandler, and Damon Runyon, and later, John Fante, Charles Bukowski, Jim Thompson, Charles Willeford, and David Goodis. To name but a few. You can probably “feel” that inspiration in my work, but hopefully it’s not too consciously obvious, because there’s only one way any writer can ever gain any distinction in this crowded industry: be yourself. |
