It isn't a matter of literal citations. It is more to do with common intonation, the prosody. I think I found my own voice only when I began to use this consciously. Somehow it is. The thing is that each fragment on a particular card can somehow be experienced not as a citation, but as a quasi-citation.
Every fragment gives the reader a key or a code to one of the well-known styles or genres.
But I think that the principles of composition are certainly always authorial. It's certainly difficult to answer this question in a couple of words. I think one of the things that stimulated me was the incredibly high status of the writer when I was a child. When I started writing I did not think of anything but one thing I want to be famous. But very soon I knew that there were much more interesting things.
