Who Do You Write Like?
The age old question: what famous writer does your work most resemble? I got my answer this morning:
I can't say I am remotely disappointed with that result, although I'm not sure it's true. I have lifetimes to go before I produce anything on the order of even the meagerest of Joyce's offerings, and I may never reach those lofty literary heights; still, dreaming makes good entertainment. :)
Wanna know who you write like? Head over to the I Write Like blog, paste a fragment of your writing into the submission block and hit the "Analyze" button. I'm not sure it's scientific or remotely accurate, but it sure is fun!
Share your answer in the comments, if you please! Oh, and have a groovy day!
13 bolts from the blue:
I'm glad I am not compared to anyone else!
Ursula le Guin (splutter). It IS fun, I agree. I think I might go back in a few hours, post the same extract and see if the same answer comes up - (evil cackling, hoping to fool the system).
Hah! I write like James Joyce, too. Or, analyzing another short piece of text, William Gibson. Interesting. Thanks for the link.
I took this several months ago too. I can't remember who my person was, but I was not at all disappointed.
Have fun on the mountain. See you soon.

Haha, I think this thing is pretty random, but I was still curious.
I got Cory Doctrow. I had to google him to find out who he is :P
I'm not sure that anyone would want me to write like them or vice versa.... LOL! ;D
What fun! Had to try this twice, once I got Dan Brown and once I got Gertrude Stein...LOL, guess that means I am psycho writer. Wonder who I get if I do it again, maybe if I try this enough times I will write like Hemingway...
Ha ha ha...Nope this time it was James Joyce, and the funny thing is that I used my Gibberish Post on Alligator shoes...Ahh, my week-end is starting to look good :)
I remember when you first posted this post. :)
So you're climbing a mountain? When are you guys coming home? Have you been writing? Did you finish your nano project?
I hope this finds you and the fam happy and healthy.
Hugs,
Lola
Just visited the link and discovered I write like David Foster Wallace. Looks like I need to track down some of his books now. :)
Wow! I visited the link and found out that I write like Ian Fleming! That is so cool, and funny too.
I really don't like James Joyce all that much. Eeep.
For me i want to write my own self!;)
Waddaya wanna say?
