For those who dabble in creative developement - Who inspired you or most influenced your craft?
Those who had the biggest impact on me (between the ages 10 -19):
George Lucas
C.S. Lewis
J.R.R. Tolkien
E. Gary Gygax
The works of these people largely shaped the direction I took my life, my college education, personal ideology and my career. Raiders Of The Lost Ark actually directed me to a college education in archaeology. AD&D guided me to a lifelong study of esoteric philosophy, comparative religion and the Greek classics. Lewis shaped my ideas on God. J.R.R. Tolkien built in me a deep passion for smart fantasy genre writing, and his approach still influences my own work as a novelist.
