And even if you are doing a good job with your writing, it never hurts to learn from other's experience and expertise; for there is always room for knowledge and bit of motivation every now 'n then. Irrespective of what kind of writer you are, you can use tips, ideas, opinions and facts from fellow writers.
Brian Aldiss once said, "There are two kinds of writers: those who make you think, and those who make you wonder." We have compiled a list of 12 such writers who will make you write as well:
BAD LANGUAGE
