Geez, I don't really don't know. Ever since I was a kid really, starting off with writing stuff on paper. Now I have at least a dozen USBs full of stories that I have written privately for my own enjoyment, never published.
I used to do a lot of collaborative fiction back when bobturkee.com was a thing. And I've kind of bounced around boards here and there.
I've more or less recently gotten into Eastern based media, especially Light Novels and such with Vampire Hunter D series being my first dip in that pool.
Then I ran across Honeyfeed and got major nostalgia for posting stories on boards and stuff again so I gave it a shot.

Anyway, enough of me rambling. Back to what you were talking about.
Every writer does indeed have their own style. Like I've told someone else on this site before, the key thing is that *you* enjoy the story first. And then merely share it with others. The right (and like-minded people) will find your medium and consume and engage in it.
If you keep that frame of mind of writing what you enjoy, how you enjoy it, you'll be able to tell your stories in the form they naturally need to be in, rather than trying to do something that goes against your grain.
Improving your craft is great and all over time, but without your passion the story doesn't have that breath of life, that spark that draws readers in.
