16. She is, without a doubt, my favorite writer ever. I just started rereading the Earthsea series and I'm researching her short stories for a project in English class. I wish I had been able to appreciate her more when I was younger.

Maybe you could write her a letter? If there's no possibility of meeting her in person, then at the very least you can get your thoughts to her that way. I might try doing that too. Her address is on her official website.
