Your favourite writer says something about you. This image is by Abigail Larson, possibly one of my favourite illustrators out there. She's designed dozens of beautiful images, including this one of Edgar Allen Poe and another of HP Lovecraft. There's no reason why your favourite writers can't influence you. Take what you love from them and mix it into your own writing. Embrace them, love them, nurture them. Don't plaigerise them but by all means quote, reference, make sneaky allusions to them. They'll probably be flattered.
As long as you don't screw up.
