I have read that you surround yourself with people who have qualities and values that you admire. My close friendships have given me the courage to be a better version of myself. One life long friend in particular has always been a truly unselfish, kind and loving person and continues to be a source of inspiration for me.

My biggest inspirations, for life in general, are my dad and aunt, each for their own special reasons.

Then I would have to say my biggest inspiration, in terms of artistic expression, would have to be the artist Marc Chagall. If you get the chance, look up his “Self-Portrait with Muse”…I love it!

My biggest inspiration is my favorite author, Elizabeth Peters (who also writes as Barbara Michaels). I find her so inspiring because she got her PhD in Egyptology, then became a prolific writer of fiction. I’m finishing up my PhD (in history) and I want to combine academic and fiction writing careers.

As a reader, I would say I have two great inspirations.
First is the Thief by Megan Whelan Turner. Read this in middle school have read it several times since then. The whole series is just wonderful. The plot and characters are outstanding!
Second is Karen Marie Moning who has turned me into a crazy fan. I think at this point I know her books by heart having read them so many times.

My biggest inspiration is nature and music. When I see a beautiful landscape or hear a certain tune it inspires me to write.

My source of inspiration as a reader was my grandmother. She was always reading something. Have a great day.

As a reader, my greatest inspiration is the library! It’s one gigantic TBR pile!

My biggest inspiration, outside of my children, is the environment around us. So interesting to just sit back and observe once in awhile.

Thanks for the thoughtful post.
