Consider this an experiment. Write a nursery rhyme, a fairy tale or a common, everyday event you experience (like brushing your teeth or shopping for groceries) in the style and tone of your favourite author. So, for instance, how would James Joyce write Jack and Jill? Try writing either poetry or prose.
Chris, the mastermind behind the The G33k, has an excellent example here.
The exercise is a great way to sharpen your skills and to understand how an author's voice is crucial in writing literature.
