This is a thread where we discuss who, we tend to want to take the example of in the choices of writers. well, discuss why you would like to write like that person.
My Models is Shakespeare, and Dickens. anybody else?

I try to follow J.K. Rowling when it comes to dialect, L. M. Montgomery when it comes to details (though she often gives a little too much, she is very good at it), Kate Wiggins for figurative language, and Lewis Carroll for characterization. There are a few more, but I can't think of them at the moment.

J. k. R. I don't follow as much, but lets I do do more.
C. S. Lewis
and
J.r.r. tolkine
Sir arthur Conan doyle is okay as well, in first person.

Conan Doyle...Um, he is a very good writer, but I don't think I wanna write exactly like him. I do like how it writes the mysteries all out though.

Connie Willis is a fabulous writer as well. I like everything about her writing. Um...I had a lot of other authors to list, but they slipped my mind again.
Oh yeah! Mustn't forget the famous L. Frank Baum! I adore his imaginative style. In case no one knows who he is, shame on you! He wrote the famous Wizard of Oz along with the Oz series (Ozma of Oz, Road to Oz, etc.)

Hurm.. the one I love most would definitely be the style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I have made quite a bit of research and I looked into his writing with great detail - I want to write like him in terms of styles, the Bronte sisters in terms of descriptions and probably JK Rowling in terms of plots.

I only read about one story of Sherlock Holmes so I am not too sure. well, J.k.r. has pretty good plots, yes, but some timing is wrong. Well, isn't Voldemort be like um, Hittler, and be the feared villain of the world. So far, he has only acted in England, but maybe if she, aaah, made him invade and try to take over the light side of the whole world. That would be more effective in show the trait in modeling him over Hittler. Oh, didn't it say the whole world fears him? How can they, if he has only killed off people on the good side in england? Well, maybe, I am wrong and it's not that, so yeah.

I think he has been in other countries, before he met up with Quirrel he was hiding in another country, I can't remember exactly.

Oh, right! Yeah, only that once though, do you reckon he has been to other countries before?
Anyways, back on track Starbright do you have a model writer?

Well just a note, what do we really know about Voldemort? Or Dumbledore? We'll just have to see in Book Seventh.
Ugh...I though of more authors, but they slipped my mind again...-_-

well, I guess nothing.
Oh, Mildred D Taylor is probably a model author of mine for realistic fiction.
