WHO is the writer you wish to reach some day? Once again, my answer is J.K Rowling.
Wow - These are some great questions!
I personally adore Dorothy Parker, I stumbled upon her in a card shop of all places, a beautiful quote on a birthday card, It's has been on my notice board for 20 years and I read everything by her and about her.
But my all time favourite book is To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee. When ever I'm in a funk I reach for that book and all is well with the world again. Recently though I have become addicted to Sarah Addison Allen, They make me so happy.
My sister used to read to me, and she would change aspects of the stories depending on her mood toward me - I was twelve before I discovered that Charlie did not in fact die in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But, this taught me how changeable a story can be and how, as in life, each character will have endless possibilities.
I learnt to read very young, my mum, grandma and sister were avid readers and I soon found out that doorways to creativity were often found in books. My grandma read a lot of spiritual books, crime, forensic and horror - I read my first Stephen King at 8 and by ten I had read, if not actually understood, the court case and story of Lizzie Borden.There have always been countless books available to me growing up and if ever I was bored my dad would tell me to read, then he'd ask me questions.
My sister is always the first person I run ideas by - She can be incredibly blunt but also my cheerleader. And I also have a friend who encouraged me at 18 to write everything and anything and to carry a notebook with me. He took some of my writing to Uni with him and his friends there gave me valuable critique, they didn't know me, so they could be honest! Now my kids are older I like to run scenarios by them too.
My inspiration is the real magic that exists all around us and within each of us. And also I have a collection of pictures and quotes above my desk - One in particular is a photocopy of a self portrait of a Russian painter (the name escapes me) I can stare at that for hours allowing stories to emerge.
As for the writer I wish to reach? As prolific as Stephen King, as magical as Alice Hoffman, as witty as Dorothy Parker and as revolutionary as Jules Verne perhaps?
Ha, I will be happy to reach published status with a story I am proud of, so that my book can nestle in between Byron and Shelley on my parents shelf! :)
