Give it an attitude, and let that attitude saturate every part of it. A writer should always read a lot and forget a lot. If he s unable to do that, he will become a prisoner of a certain writer or a certain style. That little disruption in the psyche is what I m after. Not everyone would agree with me, but I think that every story has a unique voice.
Every writer has a unique aesthetic.
These are complementary but not exactly the same thing.
