Who do you write like?
July 19, 2010 at 2:19 pm
Have you ever wondered which well known author is most like you in his writing style? You can find out here

http://iwl.me/

or at least this site claims that you can. If you paste something you have written into the site it will analyze it and compare it with the styles of well known writers and tell you which one you are most like.

I have some doubts about the accuracy of this process. I have pasted several different things I have written. If the test were accurate the same writer should have been named for each of them but in fact different things I wrote resembled the styles of several different writers. The most frequent results I got were Lewis Carroll, Dan Brown, and James Joyce so apparently I write like all three of these people.
His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

Using one of my last blog posts as an example ( http://atheistblogger.com/2010/02/10/ope...nts-union/ ), apparently I write like Dan Brown. I happen to like his books so I'm happy Tongue

Cory Doctorow.

Huh? I've never heard of him.
I'm really shitty at giving kudos and rep. That's because I would be inconsistent in remembering to do them, and also I don't really want it to show if any favouritism is happening. Even worse would be inconsistencies causing false favouritisms to show. So, fuck it. Just assume that I've given you some good rep and a number of kudos, and everyone should be happy...

Margaret Atwood and Leo Tolstoy, apparently. My writing style differs considerably, depending on what I'm writing, though. Not that I think this thing's at all accurate.
'We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.' H.L. Mencken

'False religion' is the ultimate tautology.

'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain

'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln

From a blog post of mine: Cory Doctorow.
From a short story I wrote: Dan Brown (!)
I don't like the second one, and never heard of the first.
