I loved reading this Thaddeus. Like you, I have experimented with different writing styles based on writers like Lewis Carroll, Ray Bradbury, Hemingway, Steinbeck, E. Nesbit - I even wrote a book using her character the Psammead. I find that my own style alters a bit depending on what I'm writing. The OZ book that I'm currently working on definitely harkens back to Baum, and "Patty Cake," has a bit of King in there just a bit and lots of Sandy. LOL. Super discussion. It got my brain firing away.

"I find that my own style alters a bit depending on what I'm writing." Me too, and I don't like to corral myself when I'm writing, but then I have to ignore questions of style entirely and worry about if this is a problem or not later.

I agree. Worry not is the solution.
