I wasn't sure if this question is best for the official thread, or for it's own thread.
I've been thinking over rewriting the first chapter of each book I've ever read. Roughly I figured out how to read for the writing style of some of my favorite Sf authors.
Once someone has gone over the brush strokes as is mentioned, is it a good idea to go over the rest over the chapters as well? Is there a expected amount one should read over a chapter before they should read over it?
The only one I've read over twice is a science fiction novel published in 1984. Is there any partially danger from learning from the style of older books?
