Who Do You Write Like?

[Ineke]

There are many famous author's out there who are worth our admiration, but many of us have one special author who's writing style we really look up to. Perhaps you like writer's who write in second person or use lots of descriptive prose. Maybe you like a more direct, third person style of writing.

Or perhaps you have no idea who it is you may write like! But fear not! As your NaNo story develops, merely pop sections of it into this here (12+) generator, and it will analyze your submission before letting you know which famous author's writing style you seem to share!

Tell us all about who you write like below. Do you agree? Disagree?

This sounded like fun, so I plugged in five sections from the chapter in The Crofter and the Snake in which Howard Sutton rappels down the side of Gryffindor Tower in the middle of a November night.  The first two excerpts were J.K. Rowling, the next two were Steven King, and the final excerpt was Dan Brown.  Yes, I would agree.  This chapter is direct, third person, long on action but with some introspection and a strong emotional tone.  (Actually, there were some humorous bits early in the chapter before Howard goes out the window, but I did not excerpt any of that, not knowing if the style generator could recognize humor.)

Yes, I have finally emerged from my hermit's cave, blinking in the brilliant sunlight.  We students finished the college class, Advanced Creative Writing -- Editing and Publishing, last Friday, making the last remaining tweaks to the layouts of some individual pages and then finalizing the sequence of the stories, poems, artwork, and editorial pages in the journal itself.  Now it has gone off to the printer, and I am free!

I came to the Crazies' Café too late to sign up officially, but I'll run alongside you guys anyway like a spectator at a marathon, getting inspiration and some impetus to move forward with this story!

I plugged in the first section of chapter one of Crossing Stars and got Anne Rice, which is fun

as always I got Agatha Christie....until the chapter where the murder mystery actually began (there's some irony somewhere) and then I got Anne Rice!
