Hi all!

I wanted to see what writers people have been influenced by and whether these influences have contributed to their writing style?

Reading has definitely influenced what I've written. But it goes both ways. Some styles I want to stay far far away from. And others I love.

I also like writing contraversial things.

I'm reading Tess again at the moment. Maybe it's mean, but I like when the characters go through hell. Hardy knows what I like LOL

I have learnt little tricks from most writers books that I've read. That's why I tend to read different authors a lot, rather than stick to only reading authors that I like.
