    Style! style! why, all writers will tell you that it is the very
    thing which can least of all be changed. A man's style is nearly
    as much a part of him as his physiognomy, his figure, the
    throbbing of this pulse,--in short, as any part of his being is
    at least subjected to the action of the will.

I discovered that what's really important for a creator isn't what we vaguely define as inspiration or even what it read more

I discovered that what's really important for a creator isn't what we vaguely define as inspiration or even what it is we want to say, recall, regret, or rebel against. No, what's important is the way we say it. Art is all about craftsmanship. Others can interpret craftsmanship as style if they wish. Style is what unites memory or recollection, ideology, sentiment, nostalgia, presentiment, to the way we express all that. It's not what we say but how we say it that matters.
