Which Author Would You Most Relate Yourself To?

Hey guys, i was just thinking, this would be kind of interesting to see.
Which famous author would you say you, your stories, your way of writing etc resembles the most? i suppose this will give people an idea on what sort of stories you write or how you write them etc.

Also, which author would you aspire to be like, and why?

To start off i'd say that because i am writing a 'fantasy epic' and given the amount of detail and background information and research that i'm putting in, also in terms of where i plan to go i would say that my work most resembles, or mostly relates to the style of J.R.R.Tolkien for sheer content. I don't mean to say that i am anywhere near what he was able to do. I know my writing standard will never be as good as his, and is quite a way off being 'on the mark' as it is, but as mentioned in other posts i am creating entire cultures, people, maps, languages, legends, stories within stories within stories etc which Tokien did. I would have to say though that i have adopted my own writing style and merely use Tokien and other genre related authors like him as inspirations.

Ok, your turn

C.S . Lewis. Not only for his Narnia series but for the other books he wrote as well. I think in the same way as he does and really inspires me when I write.

Charles Dickens. My writing is almost always challenging or calling out people and our society. Forcing us to take a hard look at ourselves and what we are doing. Now if only I could have a mere few percents of the influence Dickens has had on the world....

I remember hearing something about Flaubert's means of writing and completely empathizing. I'm too lazy to explain, so I'll let wikipedia:

"Flaubert believed in, and pursued, the principle of finding "le mot juste" ("the right word"), which he considered has the key mean to achieve quality in literary art.[12] He worked in sullen solitude — sometimes occupying a week in the completion of one page — never satisfied with what he had composed, violently tormenting his brain for the best turn of phrase, the final adjective.[9] His private letters show that he was not one of those to whom correct, flowing language came naturally: his style was achieved through the unceasing sweat of his brow."

That last sentence is my writing in a nutshell. (Except, unlike Flaubert, I rarely find the right words, as I don't have his patience or dedication.) I always have a very precise notion of the point I'm aiming to get across and the sentiment it's supposed to convey, but finding the words is painstaking. Creative writing does not come naturally to me, mostly in that words do not flow out of me.

One of the writers I relate to is David Wellington. We share the same interests, character ideas, and tone. There is also ways in which i dont relate to him such as gramar usage and vocabulary. One of his novels that i truly like is "23 hours" which is about a vampire slayer's scheme to rid the prison of vampires.
