The best advice is not to write what you know, it's to write what you like. Write the kind of story you like best- write the story you want to read.
~ Austin Kleon
Don't just steal the style, steal the thinking behind the style. You don't want to look like your heroes, you want to see like your heroes.
Nobody is born with a style or a voice. We don't come out of the womb knowing who we are. In the beginning, we learn by pretending to be our heroes. We learn by copying.
