Do you have a recognisable attribute or signature in your photos to make it recognisably yours?
How bad an idea is it for my to leave my camera on +1 step exposure for a more distinctive look?

Forcing a style just because you want to have a style is kinda backwards imo
If you do have a style that's specific and recognizable it will eventually show throughout your body of work. The whole point of it is to be natural
Why would you force it in the first place? If you want so bad to be recognized just throw a watermark on it

repetition will take you there.
I did, but then I eventually felt like I was repeating myself and got bored. So I stopped.

easier to correct for underexposure than over. it would also be a very poor criterion by which one would define a style.
