Okay, you're probably wondering what does Gary have up his sleeve now. Well, I want to be like all of my favorite writers, my fans that I have selected to be a part of their fan club! I am not critiquing anyone; rest assured, I just want to write about those who inspire me. I will do this at least once a week, because it is impossible to write about everyone I want to write like, all in one week, so I will break it up in parts. I will call this Part !. I love all of my favorite writers, and as always, this is a tribute to them. Stay tuned for Part II
My Hero's whom I hope to learn from:
Robert Melaccio, Sr. is blessed with the ability to keep his sights set some very serious, and real topics, politics and religion, I admire him for the research, and knowledge this man has, to write about what he writes about. His articles are not only excellent, but factual, not to mention consistent, and he reports his point of view, about these very important topics that we all care about, I wish one day, I could be that concentrated on a given subject, his articles are great, and hold my attention, from beginning to end, not to mention that he has a very good sense of humor. I love his work! He is one of the most consistent men that I have ever known. Robert, you inspire me.
Then there is
Ken McCreless, whose passion, as well as his "flexibility" of his subject matter, has written some of the most wonderfully written literary pieces, that are not only deep, but thought provoking as well. Ken is a person that I am proud to be a member of his fan list, both knowledgeable, and always has kind words to say in his reviews and comments, he too, has his own unique way of writing that holds my attention. What wonderful and knowledgeable man you are! Ken, you inspire me!
Then there is
Christine Akiteng, with her wisdom of trying to help those who perhaps need a second point of view about the "How To's" (Or Don'ts) of dating. She too, has a unique insight of what she writes about. Her wonderful articles always hold my attention from beginning to end, and I have come to know her as being wonderfully blessed in the sense that she is there to help others, and believe me when I say, their are those out there that can use this wisdom and help. She has a unique insight, being raised amongst her people in Africa, of how to live socially, as well as a in-depth knowledge of the traditions of her roots, and who she is. She is another great writer. Christine, you inspire me!
How about
David Pekrul, we all know that he works in a funeral home, and is exposed to death on a daily basis. His experience and skills as a poet are so profound, that even I, as a poet, have no idea where he gets his inspiration, and his deep love of life, and humanity. I hope to be as good as he is in my poetry one day.... His latest one that he wrote about, which is a revised edition of "My Way" sung by Frank Sinatra, he has cleverly re-wrote the song, and called it "And Do It God's Way" (Song), is a must read, I guarantee that it will leave you singing that song, I did!! His poetry really inspires me to be a better poet any way that I can.... what a gift, and I would encourage all to read his wonderful works, (I keep asking him when he is going to get published)? David, you inspire me!
I love the way
Nancy Daniels writes, she has a host of subjects that she likes to write about, ranging from, "Oh, You're From Jersey", to "Can Someone Explain The Writers Club To Me". Wow that was a good one, check out the comments on that one! I like Nancy's style of writing, she has a flair that can spark interest, and hold you from beginning to end, and she always encourages others to keep writing, and never has a bad thing to say when it comes to creativity, she is interesting, and thought provoking in all of her articles, and I chuckled about the last article I mentioned, as I was wondering what she was thinking when she received all those responses from the fan club article. It was great! That is a must readI also loved her latest, she always points out the good things, even about New Jersey, and she was right! I love your style Nancy you inspire me.
Teresa Ortiz is always inspirational, she is an exceptional writer, and I believe she has touched everyone, one way or the other. She always has such wonderful articles, as she writes about her life, her family, and her love of her savior!. What an inspiration she is, I love the way she inspires us all, isn't that what a writer does? I have never been disappointed by what she writes about. Sometimes she makes me laugh hysterically, and sometimes she writes something that will bring tears to this ole' cowboys eyes. I would be delighted if I could touch everybody's feelings, and lives, they way Teresa has. Teresa, you inspire me.
