Thank you, it's mostly because I'm obsessive. My output only comes in two formats. EVERYTHINGRIGHTTHEFUCKNOW or *weeks pass, I sip tea, I prepare, I sit down at the keyboard* EVERYTHIINGRIGHTTHEFUCKNOW. Also, drills. I drill myself. I'm a sentence level writer with a systems thinker's brain. If you actually saw me write, you'd be amazed at how fast I can backspace a sentence. I've also read, I've read a lot, I've worked with a lot of very talented people, and learned from a lot of very talented and skilled writers, and I pay very good attention.
But I do have to be careful sometimes, I'm very much a mimic. I'll steal a voice in a heartbeat and run with it. That's how I found my voice, I stole from other voices until I had one voice, then another, then another, and eventually while you can TELL it's my writing, hopefully the voices are distinct enough from story to story for there to be a continuity of style, but everything I write is bespoke for what I'm writing towards.
I'm so mad at how good this '0' draft is, and it is even stronger in the context of the serials preceding it

On the last part-- it shows. From what I've read, the prose serves the character's voice while retaining your distinct style.
Shut the fuck up, IтАЩm blushing now, see what you did!
It's so good.
