Tolkien inspired me to write too, recently I finished my first novella and it's all because of how riveted I was by the world he created. Everything was so vivid, the memories from that tale I'll carry for the rest of my life because no other book has filled me with the same ammount of emotions.
I mean, I'll never forget the first time I read The Grey Havens or The Breaking of The Fellowship, they really helped me in the persuit of my own creative voice.
