Authors that Inspire

I don't get writer's block, but whenever I need to feel the certain tone I'm going for, I try R. A. Salvatore or George R. R. Martin.

Ah yes, R.A.S. is awesome as well.

Alfred Noyes.

I hope one day to write with as much fluidity as he does.

I might get some crap for this but Ayn Rand


though I also get some inspiration from Douglas Adams and the legendary Doctor Seuss

Bill Watterson- Calvin and Hobbes

Douglas Adams all the way. Well chosen.

(Bill Watterson too, of course)

Issac Asimov.
Lewis Carroll.
J.R.R. Tolkien
J.K. Rowling
John Micheal Crichton (R.I.P. 8/4/2008 Q_Q)
Alex Flinn
Dr Suess

(You’re wrong as the deuce
And you shouldn’t rejoice
If you’re calling him Seuss.
He pronounces it Soice)


I suppose one of the points I'm making here is that at various times, there have been many different authors who have inspired me, and any author has the ability to do so as long as they don't make a book based off of a masturbatory Mormon dream/nightmare.

Salvatore, man. I love you even more for that.
Which ones have you read?

R.A. Salvatore
Sam Enthoven

I have, like... every single one of his Drizzt series, but I've read more than that.
