I think the best piece of writing advice I've ever gotten was from Damon Knight when I was explaining to him that I was having doubts about if I was writing the right thing or, perhaps more saliently, if the kind of thing I was writing was *worth* writing (and therefore reading), and he said, "we write what is in us to write."

So, yes: write like yourself. Figure out what "yourself" is in this context.
