Reading.....

I want to be a writer. I read books by Francine Rivers and J.K Rowling and I am amazed at their level of writing. I have read a whole lot of books and for me these two women stand out! They write with so much passion and so much detail! When I first read Harry Potter, my thoughts were not on the magic but on the detail in the book. There is so much detail in those books that it feels like you are there, in the same room or place. It is amazing!!! The names, the places, the magic.... It is so full, it doesn't leave room for you to fill in any blanks, the blanks are already filled in for you.
Then there is Francine :-). A woman whose writing never ceases to bring me closer to the Lord. Yes, she writes fiction, but its almost as if she was writing a real life story. The detail is amazing, the experience and connection with God is so real. God flows and talks to you right there and then, throughout the entire book! How amazing is that?
I want to write like Francine.

I read somewhere that to be a good writer you need to read a lot. I used to read a lot, now I am in that confused state :-(. I can't find anything inspiring to read, I buy books thinking I will read them and then when I get home and I open them, the writing is so plain and not so inspiring. It feels like I have more to say and write about than the writers themselves. I want to sit down and start writing, I haven't found my inspiration yet but I am getting there.
