Who Do You Write Like?

This is a really funny online quiz. I Write Like. You type in a sample of text and then it will ‘compare’ your writing to some of the ‘greats’. Who is my writing most like?

I write like
Mark Twain

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

Is that HiLARIOUS or what?!? Works out well, I love humor 🙂 Check it out at http://iwl.me/s/cfe536cd

Okay – here’s what I got the second time 🙂

I write like
Stephen King

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

I think I need to do it a third time for good measure 😉 I’m shooting for Jane Austen.

Nope – no Jane Austen the third time. I got Dan Brown. LOL

Okay, I just ran the test and came up with names I had NEVER even heard of before. All. Men. So not “write” there.

I think it was the FIFTH time I put something in that I finally got Margaret Mitchell! LOL The other times I got Stephen King, Cory Doctorow (whom I understand is a fantasy/sci-fi guy), and Ursula LeGuin (cool!). It was really interesting, though. I put in blog posts, fanfic, my manuscript, and my journal, and got something different every time!

  Hey Regina,
  I see how it works. Try it so many times until you get the author you want. (wink)
  Hmm…good idea, but I was already tickled with Mark Twain on the first try.

  Keep trying, Jules. Margaret Mitchell will come around mostly likely – though it took Regina five tries. LOL

    Funny thing is, I can’t remember which passage it was that GOT Margaret Mitchell! I’d like to think it was my manuscript, but I really think it was a piece of fanfic I found on my computer! LOL
