I was thoughtfully tagged by one of my FAVORITE Blogging Brothers, Stephen Best of
Morphological Confetti I
always come away from his blog with a sense of feeling like I just taken a humanities, world history, world culture,
American history CLASS! Yes he is Divine! Anyway he is asking what 25 Writers influence my writing? Well I can't be as bold to say they have influenced my writing but I love these folks and they write and tell stories leaving me feeling hopeful, loving and thoughtful about the world. It has taken me a few days to give this some real thought so here goes:
- Agatha Christie
- Toni Morrison
- Haki R. Madhubuti
- Nikki Giovanni
- Dr. Seuss
- Edith Wharton
- Pearl Cleage
- Lorraine Hansbury
- Nora Zeal Hurston
- Judith Krantz
- Phyllis Wheatly
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
- Sidney Sheldon
- Octavia Butler
- Alice Walker
- Marianne Williamson
- Isabel Allende
- Lani Guinier
- Barbara Jordan
- Bible
- Qur'an
- Naomi Wolf
- Amy Tam
- All Norse Mythology
- Shakespeare

You have a great list!

This is a great list and thanks for the love...babz. :) I need to come back more often. Peace~
I just loved me some Agatha Christie. I think I still have a box of her paperbacks around here. I love mystery novels, they keep my mind active.
