I write like

For some reason I see that title as something to permute and play with. I write? Like. I write "like". I write-like.

Anyway! Apparently I write like any number of people at any given time. Going backwards, my entries that contained at least a paragraph were said to resemble: Charles Dickens, Margaret Atwood, Stephen King, and James Joyce. (The Joyce, naturally, was the entry about my eyeballs.)

Then 5 more entries were labeled King. Yay!! (And also two as Dan Brown, but let's not talk about that. Everyone has those days.)

ETA - after inputting a work of original fiction, I was told it was Vonnegut-esque. I like this meme.

Various submissions came up with Dan Brown (shame!), Stephen King, Margaret Atwood (yay!), Douglas Adams, Edgar Allen Poe (really?), and H.P. Lovecraft.

The last one really perplexes me. I mean, I never write about cthulu!

Stephen King, Arthur Conan Doyle, James Joyce, HP Lovecraft, and Oscar Wild.

Like, in that order of frequency.

I write like a dude!

Stephen King, overwhelmingly. I got one Dan Brown and one James Fenimore Cooper. But mostly King.

I just checked my blog (the latest entry) and a piece of fiction (unfinished) and both were declared like Stephen King.

Crystal said...

Hmm... I got HP Lovecraft and Margaret Atwood a couple times.

It really, really wants me to know that I write like David Foster Wallace. Whom I have never read, but now I feel I must.

prant.

I think I've heard of Stephen King, but who the hell is Cory Doctorow?

I got all sorts of things, but I thought you'd like to know, my blog entry about Ro behaving like a teenager came back as Stephenie Meyer!
