It is interesting to read the influences of Hemingway, Faulkner, and Twain.<br /><br />Thinking individuals I believe continue to be influenced by masters as they grow. Thanks for visiting and commenting! <br /><br />My non-stop war with the bed bugs which have infested my entire apartment complex has kept me from mailing the prizes to my friends like you.

Definitely clothing challenged (you'd think they get nicks from the fangs, claws and weapons brandished). <br /><br />It's nice to know what has influenced you in your writing, especially the literary references and how you weave them into your stories.<br /><br />For me, Asimov, Herbert, and Clarke made me want to write scifi. Especially Asimov. He looked far into the future, and created worlds which I still remember reading about. (Foundation series). I read lots of fantasy before I turned back to scifi. I also read most of Hemingway novels after reading A Moveable Feast and visiting Key West. Sartre (Jean-Paul) I read with Camus and de Beauvoir in college, when one is most idealistic.<br /><br />We go along our path collecting our influences even though we may not be aware of it. (til someone asks)<br /><br />I always think it's sad when people quarrel over 'who gets what' when someone passes away. It happens, but it means they value the goods more than the person.D.G.

I think you would do great in fantasy -- your own unique taste in it, of course. :-)<br /><br />Nancy:<br />My computer acted up most of my free time this morning, so I have to shoot off to work now.

Lewis.<br /><br />I considered other genres but in the end fantasy does it for me. I've given you two blog awards. If you have time come by.<br />NancyN. R.

(Even before I watched the series.) He knew how to capture passion and intensity.<br />Ironically while I read a lot of science fiction when I was younger, it was Brooks' fantasy that prompted me to begin writing. Maybe one day I will attempt that genre.<br />'Clothing challenged' - funny!Alex J. Cavanaughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09770065693345181702noreply@blogger.com
