And here I thought I wrote like Dorothy Parker

This is a fun exercise, try it.

My results:

I write like
Stephen King

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!




I'm jealous of Tata, because I popped in this post and got:

I write like
James Joyce

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!




Then I felt better, because I plugged in the prologue of my Unfinished Novel of Female Torment and found out that...

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!



...only without the suicide.

I plugged in a half-dozen writing samples and could NOT get Dorothy Parker. I did get David Foster Wallace four of the six times, so I guess I write like David Foster Wallace. I guess I could do worse.

Is there a list of all the writers in their results? I've seen about a dozen, but no full list as of yet.
