Fiction Friday: I Write Like....


Stephanie Meyer.

That's what it said: Stephanie Meyer.

If you have zero idea what I'm talking about, check out the NPR story here.

To find out who you write like, submit a writing sample here.

Update: I just submitted another sample (the Gladwell post below) and now it says Ray Bradbury.



This may sound strange, but I'd much rather be like Ray Bradbury than Stephanie Meyers.


Update #2: Using the zucchini post (below the Gladwell post), it now says Margaret Atwood!

Yay!

Hmm. Is it possible I have a consistency issue in my writing?

  1. I used the beginning of my first book, the beginning of my second book, and part of a blog and got Stephen King, JK Rowling, and Oscar Wilde.

    Frankly, I think it only looks at certain words and phrases!

  4. Hmm, funny concept. Pretty sure it's only looking at words, and maybe sentence length. I'll bet you write just like...you!
