He would definitely be on my list: funny and smart! Also, Anne Tyler (as Ragamuffin girl suggested) or her inspirational counterpart, Lisa Samson -- both Baltimore girls who have a gift for human insight. Anne Lamott, Francine Rivers... From the past, the Scottish storyteller, George MacDonald (who CS Lewis considered a mentor, Lewis Carroll counted as friend and Mark Twain as a correspondent and almost-collaborator -- a lot of creativity there! ). Or Zora Neale Hurston, for her understanding and portrayal of women as individuals. "Love all, trust few; do wrong to none." ~Shakespeare Last Edited By: Gracewings 08/01/09 09:34. Edited 1 times.
