Goodreads asked Bentz Deyo:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Bentz Deyo The best advice I can offer aspiring writers is to never try to emulate the works of established authors or aspects of their writing. That leads only to timidity, frustration and doubt. The one thing that separates you from them is you. You alone have a distinctive style and a unique combination of strengths. When you write from you, your writing is original, and that should be the goal. We already have a Steven King (thank God), so we don’t need another.
