I'm always amazed by how disciplined some writers are - to get up so early and start writing before work! I'm not sure I could do that... maybe with the help of a *lot* of coffee!Talli Rolandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04780882465745107715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869854312562524230.post-46701838913183012972010-03-14T09:16:52.664+00:002010-03-14T09:16:52.664+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03315289632435632377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869854312562524230.post-72354220124644410062010-03-13T17:39:43.161+00:002010-03-13T17:39:43.161+00:00The first writer that came to mind when I read you...The first writer that came to mind when I read your blog was Alan Bennett. This came as a surprise to me. I don't think my writing is remotely like Alan Bennett's. They say you shouldn't try to write like someone else but it's inevitable that we'll be influenced by the books that we read. I think I agree with Jen though. I'd like to write like me... only better.Rosalind Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363027308436257933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869854312562524230.post-44098556664506317222010-03-13T16:46:02.995+00:002010-03-13T16:46:02.995+00:00Any of the Bronte sisters.

Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights are both still relevant today, in fact if they were written even in today's market, they'd probably rise to the top and be bestsellers. In fact, I wish my last name were Bronte.
