Do You Use His Structures in Your Own Work?

Do you feel that you use some of his structural techniques in your own work? Oh, not only do i think that way, but i'm in the hasit of using one of his novels deep structure to create my own novel. He's kind of an innately beautiful writer, and you see that here. But there is a sense from him that there is an ease in his writing, that he may not trust himself. And so by screwing up his own r like, by forcing himself to think differently than comes naturally, i think that challenge is what really kept him going.
