Dan Brown! Oh the shame!

I knew my writing was bad, but not that bad, surely? :lol:

Maybe I can cash in and make billions. Ka-ching!

Okay, tried something else and got Ursula K. Le Guin. Not bad. I'm in floods of relief.

Third: Edgar Allan Poe.

This is hilarious!

It seems that when I'm writing from my innermost being, I write like Chuck Palahniuk. But when I'm not taking myself or anyone else seriously, apparently I write like Stephenie Meyer. Further proof that that woman didn't have a clue what she was doing. *snickers*

Margaret Mitchell - most linear narrative writing
William Gibson - sort of cohesive writing
Jack London - more disjointed writing

J. R. R. Tolkien

Now, if only I could actually write like J. R. R. Tolkien.

Prologue of my barely-started memoir: David Foster Wallace
A random journal entry: Lovecraft (didn't realize my life was that horrific, lol)

I'm wondering what writers they have entered into their system? Or, in other words, I wonder which writers I may resemble more than these two, but who were not options through the site.

I submitted part of a chapter for a story I started the other day and got Kurt Vonnegut. I was aiming for Lemony Snicket or Lewis Carroll, but I guess anything is better than Stephanie Meyer.

Same here.

Never heard of Cory Doctorow.

On the second try, apparently I write like, of all people, Anne Rice.

I just pasted this in....

Quote:

His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly’s wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred. Later he became conscious of his damaged wings and of their construction and he learned to think and could not fly any more because the love of flight was gone and he could only remember when it had been effortless.

Apparently, Ernest Hemingway writes like Vladimir Nabokov.

Pasted in a prologue for my fantasy novel series I finally started to actually write. I winded up getting James Joyce. A respectable result but Id rather get George R.R. Martin considering my setting.
