It might be You, It might be Me

It might be You, It might be Me
-Clara Quiambao-

Give me a list of great authors, and I bet you’ll have a hard time choosing and gathering all their names. Probably a local or international author with the stories they have written. There are thousands of them around the world but only some of them stand out to the eyes of the readers.

You may not know but one of them is Nicholas Charles Sparks an international American author and now all his books are widely known. He writes novels pertaining to love, Christianity, tragedy, and fate. Though his first and second novel were never recognized and published to the public, he still continued writing until he reached the peak of success.

Before the world knew who is Nicholas Sparks he lived a simple life together with his family. With his second novel that was not published, he worked a variety of jobs over the next three years, including real estate appraisal, waiting tables, selling dental products by phone, and started his own small manufacturing business which struggled from the beginning.

He collaborated on a book with Billy Mills, the Olympic Gold Medalist and it was published by Feather Publishing. It was the start of his ramp all the way to the top. He wrote The Notebook, Message in a Bottle, A Walk to Remember, The Rescue, Behind the Road, and a lot more.

Unlike most writers, Nicholas Sparks does not have a set writing style. His writing style varies depending on the theme of the novel. Even though the themes of the novels are dealing with love each novel takes a different perspective of love. Like, "The Notebook" is about unconditional and everlasting love and it is due to this theme that Nicholas Sparks' style of writing for this novel is very loving and when the characters are talking they express a lot of emotions even though they might not mention the emotional words.

Ideas flowing on his mind as he writes, and none of his novels follow the same writing style; each one is unique in its own way and it goes with flow of the story. It is one of Sparks’ qualities that made him stand out to other famous authors that until now, he still continues on writing and share wonderful stories and novels made by his own.

There are also other great authors like Meg Cabot a famous author of Princess Diaries series and Sophie Kinsella who wrote the Shopaholic Series, this two authors have the same way of writing in a way that the characters are too wacky and who are truly loving and full of ideas. J.K Rowling who is the writer of the most famous book-movie series Harry Potter who takes the readers to the wonderful world of wizardry.

Don’t judge the book by its cover or about the author who wrote it. But by it’s message and lessons for everyone. Everyone can be unique in writing in their own way with their own style or angle. You may know but all of us can write and express our own ideas through our writings and words. Nicholas Sparks is just one of those millions of people. We don’t know that we could be next one being on the top. It might be you, me, or anyone else.
