writing styles

this month's blogging for books (i'll link that later when i get home, don't have the link with me here and can't be bothered searching) is a very interesting one.

usually it's some 'tell us about when you were scared' or you know, that kind of thing. there's a topic and people write about it.

this week there is no topic. instead of a topic people are tasked with writing in the style of someone else.

i find this particularily facinating because when i'm really into a book, if i've been reading it a lot, i find my writing style shifts for a while and matches that of the author. i guess it's the literary version of picking up someone elses accent.

so, i think i might participate in this one, now, i just need a topic. ;)
