For those not in the know, Block is a genius of literary corruption ... twisting and contorting genre expectations in a way that leaves one gob-smacked in incredulity.

No better compliment has ever been served. Thank you, Squire! I shall elevate you to knighthood. Or maybe a night in the hood.

As non-enticing as that may sound, I would argue that to be a great writer, you must take every opportunity you encounter to exercise your creativity. And I promise you, it will take every ounce of creativity you can muster to dig yourself out of the holes your fellow authors create. :-)
