I Write Like...
I haven't visited this site for a long time, so I stopped by "I Write Like" for a little analysis today.

If you've never heard of it, it's a site that compares a sample of your writing to a database of famous writers, spitting out your stylistic "soulmate". I took some random passages from my book "The Athena Effect", and here's what happened.
Entry #1 : Stephenie Meyer... Okaaay.
Entry #2 : William Gibson... WHO? I had to look that one up. Hmmm.
Entry #3 : Charles Dickens... *puffs up a little*
Entry #4 : Dan Brown... which brings me full circle, because I got Dan Brown when I first tried out this site. That time, I entered excerpts from my first book, "Between The Land And The Sea".
I'm going to quit while I'm ahead.
I'd take it with a grain of salt, but for what it's worth, check it out! Click on the link, enter a sample of any kind of writing and find out who it thinks YOU write like ;)

Oooh - You got some good ones! Hey - At least you didn't get the controversial Meyer! I have mixed feelings on that one, because she's probably more universally despised (or loved!) for her content than for her style. Even so, I'd just about sell my soul for her sales! ;)
Like I said... grain of salt... grain of salt.
First few paragraphs from 'The Black Daughter' WIP #2 got me Chuck Palahniuk - happily even though I didn't know who he was I knew his most well known book, Fight Club.
'Bred for life' WIP #1 various paragraphs from there saw me with Arthur C Clarke, who again I had no idea who he was... but I knew the movies based on his books 2001: A space odyssey and 2010.
That was highly amusing! Thanks!! :D
