As we do some thinking about how what we read inspires or influences what we write, I thought it might be fun for you to check out a website I've seen that analyzes a bit of your own writing and tells you what published author your writing is similar to.
I tried it with one of my blog posts and evidently I write like Dan Brown. I know who that is, but I haven't read any of his books. Interesting. I also found this interesting tidbit which confirmed my suspicions that there wasn't much heft to this particular tool, but hey...
Go to I Write Like and try it yourself.
Go to the ProProfs What Famous Writer Are You? quiz and try that one.
Leave a comment on this post telling us your results (and what you think of them) when you do. You might have to look up the author for more information if you don't recognize the name. The ProProfs quiz said I write like our very own Missouri native Mark Twain. Hmmm...
The quiz told me I write like Stephenie Meyer, which I guess is a compliment since she has been super successful in her career.
ReplyDeleteThe ProProfs quiz said I write like Ernest Hemingway, which I am indifferent about. However, the "I Write Like..." test said I write like my absolute favourite author, J.K. Rowling!!
ReplyDeleteI was so happy to see that :)
In the quiz it told me I was c.s Lewis, who has similar like stories that has some type of dark side in the action of the war
ReplyDeleteThe quiz told me I write like Stephen King, which I think is awesome. I know it's just an online thing but it made me really happy for some reason.
ReplyDeleteI write like Harry Harrison. I have never read his work, but I thought he had an interesting name.
ReplyDeletei write like Cory Doctorow which i kind of find interesting to me since he writes science fiction books but ill love to read one of his books someday.
ReplyDeleteI was told that I write like Kurt Vonnegut. Which I thought was pretty fitting because I love satire, and I have a pretty dark sense of humor. They quiz told me that I wrote like C.S. Lewis, I was happy about that because I love the Narnia books.
ReplyDeleteThe quiz said I write like Agatha Christie, which is pretty awesome because she's in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the best-selling novelist of all time. She sold four billion copies of her books, most of them being detective novels and short stories.
ReplyDeleteApparently I write like James Joyce, which I am happy with. I will always like to be identified with eccentric writers.
ReplyDeleteI'm also Ernest Hemingway :)
