You have a clear individual writing style. How do you keep your editor/s from turning you into a clone of, say, Stephen King or Roald Dahl?

I'm happy to be mentioned in the same company (who wouldn't be?) and yes, there were attempts by editors and agents to steer my work in view of like comparisons, and by reviewers complaining that this work or that one fell out of identifiable genre. I've never tried to write like anyone. When I write, it's always been like seeing a movie in my head, and if I had to define my style I couldn't do it with any intelligence. Rather, I think, I'm just trying to leave out the boring parts of the film and sticking to what happens so people will stay all the way to the end. :)(less)

Yes, negative reviews are painful (like a grade-schooler being laughed at on show-and-tell day painful) but they are usually meant to wound. When a reader says terrible things I try not to take it personally, have to imagine that the work affected them unkindly and if read in a different light on a different day the results perhaps would have been less offensive. Then again, every work ever written will offend someone, which says more about us than about the work. :)
