Everybody Else Is Doing It...

There's apparently this new website called "I Write Like" that purports to analyze a segment of your writing and tells you which professional writer your style resembles. All the cool kids have posted their results, and not wanting to be left behind, I figured I'd toss mine up as well. I used a slightly different algorithm, though, and got the following result:

I write like:

Me.

That is all.

Apparantly some guy in Canada writes like I do. I'd never heard of him, but I am considering suing him for copyright infringement. I mean it worked for J.K. Rowling...

It said I write like Steven King. It did not mention how I went about getting paid like Steven King.

I put in three posts that are pretty normal for me, and got that Cory Doctorow guy. I put in my longer posts and got Dan Brown.

Then I put in some actual text written by H.P. Lovecraft and was told he writes like Arthur C. Clarke.

Then I copied some text from one of Terry Goodkind's books and got Dan Brown again.

So I put in some text from Dan Brown and got Dan Brown. But some different Dan Brown text got Arthur C. Clarke.

I think it might only know a few different writers.
