Who Do You Write Like?
 

I WRITE LIKE...

Apparently, this site has gone viral and it determines, based on a passage of your own prose, which famous writer you most write like--thought it might be fun to pass on!

From their website:

Check which famous writer you write like with this statistical analysis tool, which analyzes your word choice and writing style and compares them with those of the famous writers.

Any text in English will do: your latest blog post, journal entry, comment, chapter of your unfinished book, etc. For reliable results paste at least a few paragraphs (not tweets).


On my first try (just a small paragraph), I got Raymond Chandler but I am going to try again with a longer piece.

Apparently...

I have no idea who this is. But apparently he has a blog called "Craphound" :|

I did it on facebook too
 

Apparently I write like :Charles Dickens

I also did this on facebook with the same results.

Ya. I want to get a pair like that :cheesy:

And I've also wanted to write sci fi... wonder if this means I have a style that could work for it.

James Joyce

Vladimir Nabokov.

Well, we're both Russian.

Stephen King

This was interesting I submitted two pieces and they came up as writing like Dan Brown the author of 'The Da Vinci Code' and another piece I submitted came up as being like H. P. Lovecraft, he's a little on the darker side of things....

I write like

I Write Like Arthur C. Clarke

I write like Cory Doctorow.............

I tried it with 3 different pieces of writing....came up twice with Stephen King and once with Margaret Mitchell.

Seems like a stretch from "The Stand" to "Gone With the Wind"...but then I always knew there was more than one voice in my head. :jester:

I write like
H. G. Wells

at least we're all Irish
 

Must be the luck of the Irish! Are you Irish, MB?

I used several examples and the result was...

David Foster Wallace

I write like...Margaret Mitchell??

Well, we're both Atlantans. Oh, and the piece I put in has the words "Atlanta" AND "corsets".....hmmm.... I think I'm cracking the algorithm for this program....

I'm a Nabokov knock-ov, too!

That's who *I* wanted! Fooey.

David Foster Wallace, whose prodigiously observant, exuberantly plotted, grammatically and etymologically challenging, philosophically probing and culturally hyper-contemporary novels, stories and essays made him an heir to modern virtuosos like Thomas Pynchon and Don DeLillo, an experimental contemporary of William T. Vollmann, Mark Leyner and Nicholson Baker and a clear influence on younger tour-de-force stylists like Dave Eggers and Jonathan Safran Foer,

I write like William Shakespeare.

Irish maybe?

I do not see any ode's in my submittal. *scratches my head*

I write like
Gertrude Stein
I used an emotional blog and it came back Gertrude Stein.

From Wikipedia:
Gertrude Stein, the youngest of a family of five children, was born on February 3, 1874, in Allegheny, Pennsylvania (merged with Pittsburgh in 1907)[2] to well-educated German Jewish parents, Daniel and Amelia Stein. Her father was a railroad executive whose investments in streetcar lines and real estate made the family wealthy.

This screams of irony. I live in Old Allegheny, Pittsburgh
and my Grandmothers name was Gertrude. Hmmm.
