At my college graduation, I was standing in line with one of my fellow Creative Writing students and having one of those hey-sorry-we-never-got-to-talk conversations, and I asked him if he planned to continue writing and, by the way, who were his influences? (I was kind of trying to remember what his writing was like, since I was sure we'd been in workshop togeether but couldn't remember any of his stories.)
"Yeah, I probably will. But I don't have influences. Actually, I don't really like to read. S'too much work."
I stared at him for a bit, but he apparently wasn't kidding.
