But actually it turns out it doesn't sound anything like anybody else.
It can only really be you, even though you feel as if you're doing this kind of ventriloquism.
And so I'm either not a very good mimic or I'm preventing myself somewhere.
But I find like the ability to write relies entirely
on having something good to read as well and it's not not for ideas or for anything or for a voice but just to sort of I suppose just to notice somebody doing something just great you know just piss crater like fucking hell that's so good that's so good the different the build-up of those different things the mounds it's amazing and yeah and you just notice that
Notice it more and more the more you read and then when you're writing as well, you just kind of think, I want to do something that makes me feel the way that it felt to read that.
Maybe that's the closest I could get.
