The lovely Nora Roberts

So, I'm reading The Circle Trilogy by Nora Roberts. As many of her faithful fans know, she's also known as J.D. Robb, though the books she writes under that name are generally mystery-types, while her Nora Roberts works tend to be of the magical genre. While The Circle Trilogy is hardly the first of her writing that I've read, it enchants me at least as much as her other stories have. Not only is this woman an amazing and highly thorough writer, but the art she creates through her words is full of hope, light and beauty. While I fancy myself a writer of sorts, even had a poem published once by the infamous poetry.com, the sheer volume of her work impresses and amazes those of us who understand the amount of concentration and effort it takes to create something of any kind of quality. She's got an amazing amount of work out there, and, of all of her work that I've read, it is truly impressive. While many people my age would trip over themselves to meet Britney Spears, Marilyn Manson, or whatever musician they happen to be enthralled with, Nora Roberts would be the person I'd be most interested in coming face-to-face with. I'd love to find out just how she's able to find inspiration for her work and such. She's very impressive.
