Do you have any original book authors you could say are your influences? What do you like best about their books? ——— the greatest influence on me in terms of both storytelling and writing style has been the warriors series by erin hunter, given that i got into it when i was 7-8 and never left lmao. the series itself isn't groundbreaking, and yknow has a lot of issues when you look back on it as an adult, however it directly impacted me greatly and continues to given that a lot of the concepts and techniques i use now, i started using by copying things from those books. as far as what i like best about the warriors series? the characters. they're not always the best but they are beloved to me
