My 6 Favorite Authors
The creative process
I want to be a novelist. That’s my dream job, right there. To be able to kick back and create wonderfully imaginative stories, then share those stories with the world. I have several ideas, but I’ve yet to really get working on any novel. I mean, isn’t everybody trying to ‘finish their novel’? It’s one of those extreme jobs, like a rock star, where you have to work really hard, and even then there’s only a slim chance that you’ll get your big break and be discovered.
The work will be worth it though. I love to write. This blog and my day job are proof of that. I just need to find somebody who will pay me to write what I want to write.
I’ve wanted to write books for a long time now, books or comic books. But ideally, I want to write a novel. An adventure story. Something exciting and character-driven. I have no interest in writing a screenplay and trying to get discovered in Hollywood. Working on a TV show is probably a blast, but that’s still lower on my list than writing a popular novel. So I thought I’d share with everyone My 6 Favorite Authors. These are writers whom I’ve read extensively and have loved almost everything they’ve done. I’m not as well-read as I’d like to be, so maybe I’m missing out on some great stuff, but I’m happy with what I’ve read. Maybe I’ll even get some of you interested in checking out their work.
And much thanks to Alyssa for introducing me to several of these authors.
6 Stories That Made Me Cry Like a Little Baby
First of all, I’m a manly man. I don’t cry. Second of all, sometimes crying can’t be helped. I’m a sucker for a really good dramatic scene in a movie or TV show. And sometimes it’s from a book or something else I’ve read. My eyes get watery, there’s a lump in my throat and I’m just awash with emotion. Everybody knows the feeling. It’s fantastic. Writers and other creative sorts know what they’re doing, they know how to put together the right characters, play the absolute perfect music and bring down the house with pure emotion.
Here are 6 tearjerker moments for me. Warning though, there will be several spoilers for the TV shows Lost and Doctor Who, as well as some movies and comics. Anyway, let’s get to it.
