I am every piece of literature I have ever consumed 🫶 I wouldn't say there's one work that influenced me, but I like to think that I read a lot despite being a slow reader and read widely and that influences me slowly and steadily! Trash booktok romances, YA, thrillers, classics, or literary fiction — anything I'm in the mood for and I think it helps tremendously to improve!! Btw a few of my fave authors are Ocean Vuong, Dostoevsky, Emily Henry, Leigh Bardugo, Nghi Vo and Clarice Lispector. And of course I spent a big chunk of my life inhaling fanfics so shoutout to fanfiction writers who sometimes put published authors to shame!!!!!
