I don't think I've finished an entire book in my life. Honestly, I have no idea how I write as well as I do, either. [That's not to say my writing is incredible or even good.] Short stories and news articles have been my primary sources of inspiration. Music and lyrics are another. Chopin takes me to another world and can be great for writing.

Ah! I do read Kino's Journey/Kino No Tabi. It's definitely one of my favorite things to read or do. Another introduced me to John Saul, who I'm starting to enjoy. And I am loving The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I really don't have any particular influence I can name.
