Den of The Beastly Bear
Hi Folks!
Found this cute little gadget you can drop on your blog...
I thought it kind of cool, so I stated dropping the text of a blog I'd written in the "Analyze" Box.
"J.D. Salinger"?!? Awesome....so I tried dropping another....got
I thought this odd. Now I've never read any Stephanie Meyer, I do know she is famous for the "Twilight Series", so I don't know whether that's good or bad...Lol!
See, to me everything I write sounds the same in my head. How could two blogs be so different as to engender comparisons to such different authors? So I tried again, using a longer sample by combining the "Consequences" trilogy...
Margaret Atwood?!?!? Her I've heard of from..."The Handmaiden's Tale".
So, just for shits and giggles I wrote a few paragraphs of erotica in the "Analyze" box and low and behold I got...
Anne Rice, hmmm yeah that fits...
So continuing to play, I got : Jack London, Stephen King, Chuck Palahniuk(Fight Club), Margaret Mitchell, Cory Doctorow....multiples of several!
In other words I'm all over the place, Lol!
I know it's all for fun, and at first I thought perhaps it was just a randomizer spitting out names...but give it the same post and you get the same answer!
My pride was hoping for Hemingway, or Steinbeck! lol.
Elmore Leonard would have been a nice comparison, or because my bank account could really use it, George R.R. Martin!!!
Anyway, it's fun and interesting but I don't think I'll add it permanently...give it a try, who do you write like?
Be Well!

So in other words you are all kinds of awesome! ♥
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested in what it says about you dear Kathy! :-)
DeleteI'm getting curious to know what it will say about me. Are there any famous 3rd graders out there?:)
ReplyDeleteJust copy/paste from an old post Michelle! Easy!!!
DeleteYikes. I'm a little scared to know...although I'm not sure my blog is a good representation of my writing style. So many images now...
ReplyDeleteStephanie, you could have a page or two of your book analyzed...just sayin'. Lol
DeleteI tried it and posted one of my fairy characters and it said I write like L. Frank Baum. I tried an entirely different post and I now write like P. G. Wodehouse. Need to do one more for another genre I did.
ReplyDeleteNot bad Michelle! I didn't get either of those and I tried about twenty different posts!
DeleteLol!
I installed that app on my blog a few years ago...I was happy w/ Stephen King, more or less. I think anything would be better than Anne Rice though. I don't get the big attraction to her books at all.
ReplyDeleteThe thing with Anne Rice, at least the "Interview with a Vampire" trilogy is that if you took out all the redundancy they'd only be half their length. Never been beat over the head with a concept by an author like reading Anne Rice!!!
DeleteI was James Joyce three times and Jane Austen three times. Not bad. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you're way more consistent than I, lol!
DeleteYou could certainly have done a lot worse...
