Write a letter to each of my favorite living writers

12) Dervla freaking Murphy. Seriously. Just read about this woman’s accomplishments and tell me you don’t want to be her when you grow up. I can’t figure out how to get in touch with her, though!! No fan website. :(

11) David Sedaris

This is somewhat unrelated, but I wanted to declare that A. A. Milne rocks my world…the original Winnie the Pooh is amazing beyond belief.

My list so far:

1) Tom Robbins
2) Richard Russo
3) Chris Thile
4) Maya Angelou
5) Demitri Martin
6) Regina Spektor
7) Rufus Wainwright
8) Ben Folds
9) Alice Sebold
10) Tina Fey

I’m thinking of looking for a few more types of writers to write to (journalists, poets, etc.)
