I'm always aware of writing around things I can't do, and I've come to think that that's actually what 'style' is - an avoidance of your deficiencies.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I started writing it was kind of hard getting people to do my stuff. They' say they couldn't do my style.
Do not copy my style! The first rule of writing is write about what you know, not what you think you know. So, think about what you've done in your life and write about that.
Discover your own style. Don't try to repeat what has already been written - have the courage to do your own thing and don't be afraid to do something different.
I had an advantage over a lot of people who had gone to school and earned degrees in writing and had learned the rules for writing, so to speak. My style was just to tell a story but to tell it well, and that has worked out for me so far.
This amateurism however, can sometimes be helpful in forging a style; you have to work around your weaknesses.
I don't have a style. I just try to write what the story demands.
Style is something you either have or don't have.
My number-one theory in life is that style is proportional to your lack of resources - the less you have, the more stylish you're likely to be.
I don't have the notion that everybody has to write in some single academic style.
I do not go down and sit in front of the computer and make myself write; that's not my style.
