    The Lord of the Rings inspired me to create a world that takes people out of themselves, but it was Pirates of the Caribbean that gave me a medium (pirates) that was just SO fun!

    My 6 year old brain. I'm 16 now, and most of the ideas I use now, I cam up with when I was 6.

    These came mostly from the Legend of Zelda series.

    Honestly, Fringe. Yeah, that weird sci-fi television series.

    Also, poetry. Edgar Allen Poe, Robert Frost, and Shakespeare all influence my writing.

    Mine are The Chronicles of Narnia and Pride and Prejudice. I think there's more but can't think of some now.
