Hmm...

I watched the first few episodes of Baccano! yesterday at Anime Club, and I liked the out-of-order storytelling and the refreshingly unique setting in Great Depression-era America (although wasn't the California Gold Rush during the antebellum period? O.o).

And then I found out that Durarara!, the Next Big Thing in anime right now, was written by the same author.

Hmm.

Writer's Block: My word

[Error: unknown template qotd]
Mm...that's a tough one.

I would love to have the writing ability of Sarah Rees Brennan or David Clement-Davies, because I love the way they handle characterization and description.

Although at this point in time, I'd settle for just having the ability to plot properly. :P

I wouldn't exchange writing styles permanently. A writing style is like a fingerprint of the author; it's unique, because it's your voice, and having the exact same writing style as someone else would defeat the purpose.
