Reading writers; writers reading…
It’s not too late. You can still read the musings of fantasy writer, Sophie Masson, on ‘Inside a Dog?’ this month. It will soon be time for someone else to take over, but you can catch up on all the things she has to say about writing at: http://www.insideadog.com.au/residence/index.php
It’s been interesting to hear her speak of the things which inspire her to write, other authors she enjoys, and perhaps a few hints as to why she writes fantasy. An insight into the activities of her daily life also make you realise how writers continue to learn from others - both reknowned writers and those of the modern age.
As you read her jottings, try to think about what influences you daily, and how that might impact on your writing journey. Is it the books you enjoyed as a cild, the tales you were told at bedtime, or the stories that have been introduced to you by significant others in your life.
Who or what have been the forming influences on you as a reader or writer?
Have you found her latest book - Maharaja’s Ghost?
