My story is starting to be Tolkien-ized. I'm writing things like "he knew not". But mostly I think my own style stays pretty consistent. It might be a mix of styles I've read, so there's definately influence, but not copying styles influence. I think. I hope.

I've found my writing style has been influinced (sp) by Tolkien. I've been inspired by him and, I know its strange, but I get ideas from crazy dreams. The novel I'm writing now was inspired by a dream I had. I modified and ran the story through my head before putting pen to paper. It also was partly inspired by Mel Gibson's The Patriot. (Only the main character doesn't have children

)

My writing used to be very Tolkien, but I'm also picking up from Brian Jacques...especially the dialects.
