I kind of love you for this.

Re: Who do you want to write like?

To clarify a little bit: it's because Tolkien is constantly reviled for writing too much description, to the extent that some people say he didn't know how to write (which is bullshit). But he wrote what I think of as slow prose, and the way he described the country is the way you experience country when you're walking, so you get a real immersion into the world. I take no shame in being a visual reader (and a visual writer) and I get annoyed with people who think I should.

Huh. I really like this explanation. I never thought about it before, but you make me want to reread LOTR now and see if I feel it - I'm not normally as visual a reader myself.
I don't think you should feel bad about it, there's nothing wrong with taking time on the details. Some other authors I feel don't spend enough time fleshing out the world visually. I read some John Scalzi books, and they all felt weirdly flat to me, and I finished them without feeling like I actually knew what anything looked like.
