What book/author did baby-writer-you copy incessanty before finding your own style?

Mine was Edith Pattou. Found these books at a Barnes & Noble display as a child and wrote a dozen bad fantasy stories set in this exact world.

Have you met (and followed) my friend @stephpostauthor.bsky.social ?? Bc she is the most talented, amazing writer and craftsperson I know. She wrote and bound this book by hand and added in all kinds of beautiful handmade goodies!! What a legend. The book is amazing, too. An absolute gem!
