. . . a complete goof-off.
Visited the I Write Like text analyzer, because it seemed like such a better idea than accomplishing any of the items on my to-do list. Copied and pasted an entry from the blog, and learned I write like:
Dan Brown.
No, no, that won’t do at all. But they asked me if I wanted to analyze another text. Yes! Please!
What I would have done if blog post #2 proved equally brownian, I do not know. But there was hope. Analysis #2 determined I write like:
Charles Dickens.
I was not entirely persuaded this was an improvement, but at least my friends who are smarter than me might be impressed. Decided I’d give it another shot. The writing analyzer told me that blog post #3 was written like:
Cory Doctorow.
Who?? Apparently I do not read like a Writing Analyzer.
But maybe this was an improvement. I picked another post, and this time the Writing Analyzer told me I write like:
Stephen King.
So I’ll just stop there.
…seems like this site is less about writing analysis and more about shaking up a magic 8-ball. 😉 Still, sounds like it can be fun…
Hurm! Apparently after pasting 50 -odd pages from The Emperor of North America, I write like Mark Twain. Kind’ve fitting, considering Huck Finn makes an appearance… 😉
If nothing else, it’s a fabulous goofing-off method.
Hmmn. Twain. Maybe.
If only Mark Twain had involved more slime and aliens.
