“Every story I write is different. Some are hard. Some aren't. 'Chronicle' was tremendously easy. I have a hard time comparing my process on different things, but I will say this: The more you write, the better you get at it. That's one of the few things that's markedly true.” WritingDifferentHardStoriesEasyProcessCompareHard TimesDifferent ThingsChronicles Author:Max Landis
“If, when we compare two versions of a story, the second known to be a retelling of the first, and find that the second has more of a miraculous element, we may reasonably conclude we have legendary (or midrashic or whatever) embellishment. The tale has grown in the telling. This sort of comparison is common in extrabiblical research and no one holds that it cannot properly indicate legend formation there.” IfsFirstsMayTwoStoriesReligionCommonKnownAtheismElementsResearchPositive AtheismTalesVersionsCompareComparisonLegendsMiraculousFormationLegendaryRetellingEmbellishment Book:Beyond Born Again: Toward Evangelical Maturity Source: Beyond Born Again: Toward Evangelical Maturity
“Not counting Small Steps, I think Holes is my best book, in terms of plot, and setting, and the way the story revealed itself.

I’m still too close to Small Steps to compare it to Holes.” ThinkingWayStillsBookStoriesTermStepsChangedHolesSettingSettingsComparePlotMore MoneyCountingChanged My LifeSmall Steps Author:Louis Sachar
