I write in the same way. I never consider and think about adding a literary effect before I add it, I just do. Thinking about things like that usually hampers me, unless I am aiming for a certain effect in my story. Otherwise, I just let it flow out of me.

This is a nice sticky. I hope other aspiring writers take a good read through this (like I did) and improve from it.
