Thursday Thirteen #100
A couple weeks ago for Weekly Geeks #13 assignment, I posted photos sans names of the authors who have influenced my own writing. Today I'm going to repost the photos with the names. I couldn't decide which four of the sixteen to leave off so...sue me. :)
Thirteen (plus three) of the Writers Who Have Most Influenced My Own Writing
Ray Bradbury
Alice Hoffman
Stephen King
Shakespeare
Maya Angelo
Tony Morrison
Walt Whitman
Flannery O'Conner
David Lynch
Isabelle Allende
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Joyce Carol Oates
Joseph Campbell
Janet Burroway
(Her textbook, Fiction Writing, has been my bible for over 15 years but I blush to say I've not read her fiction yet. I seem to remember checking the library catalog for them while reading it the first time and finding them unavailable. But I've not checked recently. In fact I've not checked my current library system ever. About time I rectify that.)
Bob Dylan
A. S. Byatt
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It's easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

Ray Bradbury was influential on me too.
Fantastic selection of authors. Happy TT.
Great list...Happy TT:)
Great list. Such a wide varitey of people.
I think King is the only one I've actually read though. (and this is the second TT I've seen his picture on today. -grin-)
Some wonderful authors you site. Personally I enjoy Stephen King most of them all.
My TT is up here.
Good post, that's quite the list.

Or My 24th Thursday 13
Haven't heard of Janet Burroway's Fiction Writing. I'll have to check it out. And Bob Dylan, too? Interesting.
I've heard of most of them, but haven't read as many of them as I think I should. Maybe it's time to take a trip to the library.
Great TT!
