I would say just start writing. You’ve got to write every day. Copy someone that you like if you think that perhaps could become your sound, too. I did that with Hemingway, and I thought I was writing just like Hemingway. Then all of a sudden it occurred to me – he didn’t have a sense of humor. I don’t know anything he’s written that’s funny. — Elmore Leonard
