No really, it is! And while I like the idea of 'above a certain threshold' - I don't think it's a good philosophy, in the long term. We can always improve, as writers. =) I think jealousy can sometimes be a good thing (Stephen King, for instance, regularly admits he's jealous of Steinbeck's ability ... but then again Steinbeck is a little ... inhuman.) @Lee: I think Corvus is fine.

First of all, Corvus is terribly flawed. And more important, each of us has a unique vision and unique voice, and at a certain level of craft comparisons become pointless.

She's a real gem. (And, yes, she's been around for a long time now - she just has more literary chops than most of us). ;-) PS: Read Corvus! It's an amazing book, the kind that makes me jealous, as a writer. Lee’s one of the rare literary writers who’s into publishing on the net. She’s a real gem.
