Meme Me Up!

I write like
Margaret Atwood

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

Since the tool says it uses word choice and writing style, I wonder if my Canadian spelling had anything to do with it. *shrugs* I'm more than happy to be compared to Ms. Atwood, either way.

Runners up were Stephen King and Chuck Palahniuk. I analyzed a whole pile of stuff, and these were the three that turned up the most.

Oh man. I'd cry, too. XD (Though I did read The DaVinci Code and it's hard to argue that it's a page turner, at least.)

H.P. Lovecraft? That's cool.

I'd definitely suggest posting a lot of different to try to see a pattern in it. I was getting so many different things, I was starting to think I obviously had no style whatsoever, but repeated postings (good thing I have many, many S,HWC chapters handy here) did show a pattern for me.

I'd love to know more about how it works, too.

Step aside, Cthulhu, I've got your new generation of insanity and horror right here. Or something. I must not read enough Lovecraft, because I really have no idea what would have pinged him.

I found Joyce came up a lot for my short stories and blog posts, while my smut is apparently pure Palahniuk, which was kind of interesting (and flattering, at least in Joyce's case :P). I'm choosing to ignore the Dan Brown insults ;(.

It's a lot of fun, anyway! I only wish the results didn't tend so strongly towards straight white men. Few people seem to be getting women, and I don't think I've seen any LGBTQ writers or people of color; if they're there, there aren't many of them.
