I couldn't pass up the temptation of I Write Like. I recommend trying it out because of the fun of having your writing analyzed by an impartial algorithm and compared to the works of
The result, as you can see, was Stephen King. I'm honored by the suggestion, but I have no way of knowing if it at all accurate. I've never read a Stephen King book before. Nevertheless, it's kind of scary, no?

ReplyDeleteI never would have thought this. I keep meaning to try that so I will now!
ReplyDeleteso... it said I write like....
Stephen King. I am not even kidding you.

@Heather I really want to know who that first one was that didn't go through. James Joyce is all well and good, but I want to know if you were Danielle Steele in another life.

Hey there!
