Writing Inspiration

After visiting a school last week, I realised each class asked 'Who's your favourite author?' or 'What's your favourite book?'

Well, my favourite author of all time is Dr. Seuss, and my favourite book is The Cat In The Hat.
I love all of the work that he's written including, The Lorax, Green Eggs And Ham, and How The Grinch Stole Christmas. They're for children but they'll always be my favourite, that's why I had my inspiration to make my Charlie Cheese Books - they're rhyming stories, quirky and the illustrations are very unique.

I've a few ideas for short stories, they are dark comedies with plot twists. They need writing up properly and filming, but they're a work in progress for now. I get the inspiration for this from watching 'Inside No 9' written by Reece Shearsmith and Steven Pemberton.
I love the fact that whilst watching, I try my best to guess the twist, because you know it's coming, but you never know how it'll pan out.
It's never how you expect, and it's always something better than you could imagine. If you've never heard of Inside No 9 (How?) Find them, watch them, I'm certain you'll be hooked.

For my poetry, I don't necessarily have anyone in mind for inspiration. I find a topic that rubs me up the wrong way, and style it out. My poetry mainly focuses on social injustice and politics. Although I have my poetry put together in Mind The Gap - I'm constantly working on more.
