Interesting! I got the idea from Hunter S. Thompson, who apparently recopied The Great Gatsby before writing Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

In the movie Finding Forrester and aspiring writer is unsure of what to write and has been sitting in front of a typewriter for what seems a few hours.. An experienced one gives him one of his works and tells him to type it. He says sometimes the simple rhythm of typing can get us from page 1 to page 2.
Emulation is wonderful.
