Inspirations

My top three inspirations are J.K. Rowling, Darren Shan, and Stephenie Meyer. All of which write brilliantly in my opinion. But I'm not copying. I think some people mix up the meanings of inspiration and copying. I strive for my book to be as complex and brilliantly written as the Harry Potter series but these are not the Harry Potter books in any way. I don't want my books to be compared to any other books, because I don't feel like they are like any other I have read. I want them to touch people's lives and change them like Twilight did for me. Whether or not they sell well, which I would love who doesn't?, but I want to give everything I have into these books. That way I can see that I am proud of them.
