But that's what makes it instantly recognizable.

If anything, your writing shouts your you-ness.

Just like Dryad's or Gentleman's.

Mine doesn't.....or if it does, I am unaware of it. I'm not so great at writing.

Yeah.

What about my writing style. Is it fairly distinctive?

I agree. I think we all have fairly distinguishable writing styles. Even though you and GV are kinda similar, for example, I could easily tell one from the other, and could tell either of you from 667.

You're not terrible. It just takes some people more time and more effort.

I just realized what that sounded like.

Sorry Marv. You're pretty good.

It's clever and nimble. Sort of hard to explain, but it's very easy to sense the thoughts, actions and personalities of the characters you describe, without spelling it out plainly. I like it.

No, you're not terrible at it. You just don't have enough time to prove how good you can be. I've seen your writing, it's decent.

You, at least, know how to use a comma.

I know I sometimes sprinkle little commas in my sentences when they begin to feel incorrect..
