Assignment: call it the shadow of myself

“Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” – so they say-- at the very least it’s an intense form of analysis. How else could you imitate someone unless you’ve first analyzed all the subtle details and nuisances? I’d like you to briefly tell me about your favorite writer and distill their style into a nice neat description. The real fun/hard part is going to be writing about a topic of your choice in the manner of your favorite writer. Looking at the screen through the eyes of an idea, you must impose upon this shadow and stumble across her words, shuffle through his cadence, while striking out on your own adventure. This one might take a tad more than 150 words so don’t skimp on the icing.
