Inspirational Authors..

The topic of authors and books have always been hard for me. Not reading and talking about them, but picking a favourite let alone an inspirational author/book. So, as the others, I shall list my 3. Not in any order of favourite but just numbers.

1) J.K Rowling. What if we just say that nobody writes a whole thing on her? We're most probably all going to end up writing about her anyways... 



I got into the Harry Potter series at the age of 7. My mum started reading the 1st book to me and told me not to watch the movie, I went and watched it and then she refused to read the rest of the book to me.. So, I picked it up and read it myself. Never stopped. I've travelled with Harry through Hogwarts and the whole series has been an inspiration to me. The hopes of getting my Hogwarts letter in the mail is still going on. (It's lost in the mail, I just know it is) And with so many people around me reading the series and watching the movies, I am so sure that the legacy of Harry Potter will never end. Twilight will though. That's just a given ;) 


So thank you J.K Rowling. Thank you for creating the Wizarding world for those who weren't comfortable in their own. Inspiration? Yes, you've made me want to create my own magical world that will be picked up by the generations to come. 


2) John Green.


Ah, where to start? 


We all know John Green. We've most probably read all of his books and since I became a Nerdfighter late last year, I've made it my mission to read all of his books. A mission I have completed and thoroughly enjoyed. The first book by him I read was Looking for Alaska and I immediately fell in love with John's writing. The way he created these quirky characters who seemed out of place in the society that they lived in but they strived to fit in and/ find their place. His books and himself have been an inspiration to me to be able to find who I am and to join in the fight against world suck. He helped me embrace my nerdiness and to love it in every way, no matter what others say. And if he ever ends up reading this.. Well all I have to say is thank you. Thank you so much. 


3) Diana Wynne Jones.


Diana Wynne Jones is one of my favourite authors if not my favourite. Only 10 mintues ago did I find out that she passed away on the 26th of March.. So now, new mission. Read every book by her. She was an amazing author. I could re-read her books anytime at all. J.K Rowling and her set off my love for fantasy and magic and without them, I don't know where I would be now. Diana Wynne Jones inspired me to think about the unknown and the quirky. She taught me different views on life from the point of view from a naive girl who had 'stolen' a painting to a commoner in the search of his princess through a foreign land with an annoying genie and old soldier by his side. She's amazing.












So yeah, 3 of my inspirational authors.. I hope it's short. Now I'm going to watch the last episode of Torchwood Season 2.. :) 


DFTBA
