Who Do You Write Like?

I WRITE LIKE...

Apparently, this site has gone viral and it determines, based on a passage of your own prose, which famous writer you most write like--thought it might be fun to pass on!

From their website:

Check which famous writer you write like with this statistical analysis tool, which analyzes your word choice and writing style and compares them with those of the famous writers.

Any text in English will do: your latest blog post, journal entry, comment, chapter of your unfinished book, etc. For reliable results paste at least a few paragraphs (not tweets).

On my first try (just a small paragraph), I got Raymond Chandler but I am going to try again with a longer piece.

I have no idea who this is. But apparently he has a blog called "Craphound"

I also did this on facebook with the same results.

I entered in a fairly long blog post I did this morning. Like Linus, I have no idead who Cory Doctorow is, but I like his glasses a lot!

Ya. I want to get a pair like that

And I've also wanted to write sci fi... wonder if this means I have a style that could work for it.

This was interesting I submitted two pieces and they came up as writing like Dan Brown the author of 'The Da Vinci Code' and another piece I submitted came up as being like H. P. Lovecraft, he's a little on the darker side of things....
