Allison M. Dickson
Stephen King is the reason I'm a writer today. It's as simple as that, really. But there are a ton of writers who have inspired me over the years.
Gillian Flynn inspired me to tap into my realistic fiction side. Margaret Atwood captured a literary form of science fiction that put me in a state of awe. Cormac McCarthy is a perfect study of brevity. Elmore Leonard was the dialog master. Joe Hill is a reminder to commit fully to the weirdness inside me.
But I find a lot of inspiration in my colleagues as well. You, Shewanda, are an inspiration to remain true to my characters. Ian Thomas Healy is a bedrock of support. Gae Polisner is one of the most elegant and heartfelt writers I've read.
The list goes on and on...
