A quick meme

I plugged in the text of one of my most recent short stories and got this:

I write like
William Shakespeare

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


Don't I wish.  Out of curiosity, I tried again with the novel chapter I'm currently working on and got this:


I write like
J. K. Rowling

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



I write sex scenes like J.K. Rowling!  And why stop there?  I decided to try the first chapter of the novel, for which I got:


I write like
Kurt Vonnegut

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


Vonnegut does epic fantasy!  And when I plugged in chapter two:


I write like
Charles Dickens

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


Either my writing is very confused, or this meme is.

Bwahaha! That last line was my exact reaction going through your post. Interesting that they don't post their algorithm or even a few basic guidelines.

I write like
Vladimir Nabokov

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



Even so, score.

I think I'm just going to go with my first result and declare "score!" for myself as well. :)
