Authors that have influenced me... a meme story
Snaff-ooed from persiflage_1
The Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen authors (poets and comic book authors can be included) who've influenced you and who will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes. Tag everyone, because I'm interested in seeing what authors my friends choose.
In no particular order (although the first almost certainly *is* the greatest influence on me):
JK Rowling
Haruki Murakami
D H Lawrence
Sarah Waters
Banana Yoshimoto (she does the most amazing writing regarding food)
Chuck Palaniuk
Sylvia Plath
Carol Ann Duffy
Jaclyn Moriarty
Louis Sachar (my favourite author during my early teens)
Jacqueline Wilson
Charles Bukowski
Kate Tempest (one of the best spoken word artists - find her stuff on Youtube)
Mike Skinner (from The Streets)
Maya Angelou
OK I NEED TO GO BED NOW. I'm spending the morning chasing after toddlers, preventing them from damaging privately owned artwork *ngh*
