Yes
When I started to read Hank I was inspired to write, but I didn't just read him, I read, and am reading a lot of the authors that inspired him as well. To make sure that I don't just mimik his style. If I only mimik him, I may end up being completely caught up in form, rather than being spontaneous. He wasn't the first author though. I was originally inspired by an author called Derrick Jensen, but I made the mistake of writing to him, and he turned out to be an asshole(arsehole). I am lucky that I discovered Bukowski because if I hadn't I might not have found someone who looked like he understood what suffering is all about, and understood what I feel like.
I also only write about my experiences of life. My life is really pathetic. Publishers might find it funny enough to publish.
