Authors: Who or what inspired you to become an author?

answers1: Robert Musil, the author of Der Mann ohne Eigenschaften (The
Man Without Qualities.) He spent around 20 years writing that book
and only finished two volumes (his wife finished the third volume for
him after he died) and he didn't get much fame or money for his first
the first two novels. Still the complete book is one of the best I've
ever read (I haven't read many books but still, it's pretty good and
not known nearly as well as it should be.)
answers2: I'm cosigning with Maine - Dr. Seuss was one of the reasons
why I loved writing in the first place. <br>
<br>
But my vast imagination also prompted me to write as well - somebody's
gotta write these little random ideas that pop up in my head. ^_^
answers3: I always had a surplus of mental energy that I only ever
found supplement for when I began to write creatively.
answers4: nicely, i do in comparison to saying particular names. that
is via the fact just about something can motivate me. I write
delusion, yet i'm no longer purely inspired via J.ok. Rowling, J.R.R.
Tolkien, and C.S. Lewis. i could be inspired via each and every person
that under no circumstances supplies up on their targets. some
inspiring human beings comprise: a million. An astronaut that reaches
for the sky... 2. An actor for sticking to his interest no rely how
detrimental he's or no rely how lots complaint he gets... 3. basically
all people who has intense targets, despite the fact that the
possibilities could be of them succeeding with them... all of us who
ever sticks to their targets via thick and skinny is an thought to me.
answers5: the creator of gossip girl, its an amazing show but the
novel is written so well. its real and i love it. <br>

answers6: I just always liked english. when i was ten, i started
thinking,since i like books so much, why dont i just write them?
answers7: This is going to sound childish, but Dr. Seuss was my
inspiration to become an author. <br>
I really enjoyed Harry Potter as well, but I didn't read Harry Potter
as a kid. I didn't read it until I was a teenager. When I was younger,
all I liked to read were Dr. Seuss books. Not only did I think his
wordplays were fabulous, they were also all very inspirational - <br>
<br>
"But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are
going to have troubles with me!" <br>
"You've got brains in your head, you've got feet in your shoes. You
can steer yourself any direction you choose." <br>
"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who
is Youer than you." <br>
"With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you're too
good to go down any not-so-good street." <br>
<br>
He had an imagination that was always about to burst, but never afraid
of exploding. No limits, no lines. I also liked the themes he buries
in his stories. Themes about facing your own troubles instead of
running from them, themes about shooting for the moon, themes about
embracing diversity, themes about saving the environment, themes about
being yourself. <br>
He may just be a man who came up with whimsical rhymes for kids, but
to me he was, and always will be, the first and only kick-start to my
writing and love of words. <br>
<br>
All the best with your writing! (:
answers8: English has always been a favorite subject for me. <br>

<br>
Writer's Belief <br>
<br>
A writer must have a strong belief <br>
in his/her writing projects. Self-doubt <br>
stops writer from trying, succeeding. <br>
All people, no matter the profession, <br>
have successes and failures. Writers <br>
improve from failures. <br>
<br>
Failures push a writer to look closer <br>
at a writing project, and discover why <br>
it didn't make the cut or was published. <br>
<br>
Failures that grab the attention helps a <br>
writer to move forward and avoid the same <br>
mistakes. Still, failure/rejection, can <br>
be painful. It should be looked at as a <br>
motivator. <br>

answers9: I was inspired by the English language itself. i was
inspired by Shakespeare. The fact that you can tell a story - in which
ever way you want - to express your views on every subject possible;
is an inspiration in itself. Authoring a book is not like being a
doctor or engineer. there's no intesity in the field of work. you can
work at you own pace, and if yuor book hits the charts, then you'll
make money. I am good with my words and that is the main reason why i
was inspired <br>

answers10: As a child, I spent countless hours everyday listening to
music and daydreaming, creating my own fantasy worlds. I kept driving
my Mum mad with all these stories and creatures, and when I was ten
years old, she turned to me and said, "Why don't you just write this
stuff down?" And, eleven years later, I'm still taking her advice :)
Thanks Mum.
