Day 10 - Authors of Inspiration

Day 10: Written-Word Geniuses
Who are the authors who have inspired you work?
Prompt Creator: very thankful

         Writers, whether poetry or prose, have a way of showing the world through a different lens. Why are we here, but to share our own written word? There are so many writers I admire for their skill with words. Ones I grew up with, ones that make me laugh, ones that make me contemplate life. Each have their own merits and are beloved.

         Off the top of my head I'd have to say Jim Butcher, Neil Gaiman, Maya Angelou, bell hooks, Jennifer Crusie, T.S. Eliot, Julia Alvarez, Homer, Katherine Neville and Octavio Paz inspire me the most. Each of them have a distinctive voice and experience that they convey through their writing. Favorites every one.
