Nicked from bellatemple and roque_clasique.

The Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen authors (poets included) who have influenced you and will always stick with you. List the first 15 you can recall in no more than 15 minutes, and they don't have to be listed in order of relevance to you.

Like bellatemple and roque_clasique, I include musicians.

1- Paul Verlaine

2- Charles Dickens

3- Jack London

4- Bob Dylan

5- Émile Nelligan

6- Victor Hugo

7- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

8- The Beatles

9- Emily Dickinson

10- Samuel Taylor Coleridge

11- Hergé

12- Guy de Maupassant

13- Edgar Allan Poe

14- Bram Stoker

15- Bernard Cornwell


Okay, there are, like, a bazillion others I could name. *sigh* 15 seems awfully limiting.

Hergé taught me that stories don't have to be complex in order to be riveting. He also taught me the value of well-rounded secondary characters. :)

Coleridge is totally a gateway drug to the Romantics. Of all of them, he's the most accessible, I find.
