As writers we are often readers and someone made us want to write. I'm curious on what authors inspired you to write - or currently still inspire you - and why. What in their works made you want to write?
for me,
Stephen King
Robert R. McCammon
J.K. Rowling

for me,
Stephen King
- the first stephen king novel i read was "the girl who loved tom gordon" and it was dark and chilling for the young child i was. it sparked my imagination and made me think about my own scenarios that i wanted to write out. as i continued reading his works, i fell more and more in love with his almost-reality stories that chill to the bone.
Robert R. McCammon
- easily my favorite author of all time, his novels have always struck me as extremely well-written and frankly life consuming at times. i can read his works over and over and still be amused with the story. his works have become a piece of me and if i hit a slump i find that reading his books often will help me get back into the writing mood.
J.K. Rowling
- i got most of my start with Harry Potter role-playing and met most of my friends through it, so it's no surprise that she still inspires me. it's not just her books that make me feel encouraged to write but her tenacity in which she tried and tried again to get her works published.
