There are many great authors today, and from ago, but who are the best?
Let's name a few...
Her name is Virginia Wolfe. She is known for writing: "Mrs. Dalloway" and "To the lighthouse" She isn't as popular as we thought, and she is more known for her suicide of placing rocks in her pocket and heading to sea to drown, she is still known as an author you wouldn't forget.
Mark Twain is another. What he is best known for are "the adventures of Tom Huck" and even "The adventures of Huckleberry Finn" A story of two boys going through what it seems to be hard times. Tom Huck was modeled after a young Mark Twain while Huck was modeled after a childhood friend of Mark. "Prince and the Pauper," about a young prince switching places with someone that looks exactly like him, to experience what it would be like to be normal. Real name: Samuel Langhorne Clemens
Charles Dickens. A man who gave us the stories like: Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, A tale of Two cities and even a famous one for the holidays:
A Christmas Carol. A story about old scrooge looking through his past, present and what his future would be like if he didn't change his wicked ways.
Agatha Christie: If you have never heard of this author, then you might never have heard of her famous story titled: And then there were none She is on the Guinness Book of World Records of all time listed of one of the great famous authors ever known. The mysterious affair at Styles and even The Mousetrap are two other famous works of this great author.
Many Authors like, F. Scoot Fitzgerald, Agatha Christie, William Shakespeare, Jane Austin and even authors of today like J.K. Rowing and Stephen King, they all have something in common...they are published writers.
Some people have never had one thing published, but it doesn't stop them. Even these great writers took many years to publish their works of gold.
I've learned that it takes one rejection to know your mistakes, and to get something published, you need to learn rejections. In other words: "To be published is good, but to know yourself, you must first know the mistakes you make to better your work, and yourself as well"- Sally P. Barker
Till then, remember books are nothing without the words and story of the writers that give life to characters, scenery and even dates and history's of when it takes place. Sometimes even movies come from books like, To Kill a Mockingbird, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest, and even 12 Angry Men.
Curl up with a good book, and remember, every author has a vision and a story they want to tell.
