If you haven't heard about this amazing site, you should kick yourself for not being more on the ball. Okay, fine, I'll clue you in. I Write Like... uses some sort of algorithm to compare your writing style to that of other authors, then tells you who you compare to.
I apparently follow a blog written by J.R.R. Tolkien/Robert Louis Stevenson/Arthur C. Clarke. Who knew?
Different pieces usually turn up different authors, so it's far too easy to be flattered by the variety of (successful) results.
Anyway, here's who I write like:
My Demonic Rambling snippet got
David Foster Wallace
My (unpolished) werewolf story received
Stephen King
AND my story Nothing Personal yielded...
J.K. ROWLING
Well, here's hoping that I have a very lucrative writing career
^_^

It seems like I write like Stephen King - all about my researching my family tree, I'm not too sure if this is too accurate. Thanks for the link anyway. An idea for a blog post I hope you don't mind my linking it to you.
ReplyDeleteI've been told my stuff reads a little like Michael Moorcock, a little like Robert Silverberg, a little like Henry James, of all people. But according to this thing? My reviews read like James Joyce! Is that a bad thing? *lol* Thanks for the link, Vicki.

Apparently I write like J.K Rowling or Margaret Mitchell. Depending on which of my writing pieces you look at. lol. :D
ReplyDeleteWith a writing style that emulates all of those famous authors, you are bound to be a hit!
ReplyDeleteWow. I wish you all of J.K. Rowling's success.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting site. Thanks for pointing it out to me. This could be an excellent way to stall online. Lots of fun. :)
I just ran my work from yesterday through it, a scene where my MC is almost executed for a crime she didn't commit. It came back Dan Brown. Interesting.
Thanks!! That was so much fun.
ReplyDeleteFor today's posting "Day Trip," I was given: Raymond Thornton Chandler (July 23, 1888 – March 26, 1959) was an Anglo-American novelist and screenwriter who had an immense stylistic influence upon the modern private detective story, especially in the style of the writing and the attitudes now characteristic of the genre.
I feel so old!!! ;-)
Thank you for visiting my blog. Glad you did as I am now a follower of your blog and look forward to future postings.
