The One Inspired Me Most Recently

30 Days Writing Challenge: Day 4

Okay, for the challenge today, I'm gonna have to write about someone who inspires me.

There are so many people who have inspired me. Some of them are the people around me, some are inspiring people I met by chance, and some are famous people and celebrities.

But today, I'll write about J. D. Salinger. He just became my inspiration lately. I mean, J. D. Salinger is a legend. Everyone knows him. I've known his name. I've known the famous 'Catcher in the Rye'. But I've never read the book and never read about him before.

Then I watched that movie, 'Rebel in the Rye', and I got so inspired. His struggle to be a professional writer really touched me.

More than that, I can totally relate with him. He was a lousy student, mostly because his lack of focus. He got bored so easily, he was also a rebel, he dropped out from some majors. He was anti-social, that anti-social he couldn't even maintain a relationship. And he was so passionate about writing.

I mean, yeah I'm sure he's not the only writer, or genius creator that was a rebel, eccentric, and anti-social. But because I just watched that movie recently, Salinger inspired me most recently.

So, if not J. D. Salinger himself, maybe the movie 'Rebel in the Rye' that has inspired me, or Whit Burnett, as the most influential person in Salinger's path to be a legendary writer.

I got so many important lessons in writing. And now I'm looking for the book 'Catcher in the Rye'. I really need to read that book.
