I write like...


I write like
H. P. Lovecraft

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!





Is it bad if the block of text I used for this was a union email I sent to all my members?

I plunked in a chunk of text from HP Lovecraft and it said that it was HP Lovecraft :-D I'm impressed by its accuracy but disappointed it didn't spit out another writer, say Dave Barry :-D

I put in an LJ entry and it said I wrote like Stephen King! Then I tried something from an old NaNoWriMo entry and it suggested Dan Brown. Sigh!

LOL, it's not bad that you used the union letter :-)

I pasted some of my last few LJ entries, and variously got Isaac Asimov, Stephen King, Dan Brown, and HP Lovecraft. My writeups of the rounds of the 2010 Mystery Hunt all seemed to come out Dan Brown, maybe cause I wrote about each subject only for a paragraph or two before moving on and forgetting about it.

I wish Dan Brown read like a Mystery Hunt writeup. All of his puzzles are way too simple.

*blinks* Dan Brown has puzzles?

... Sort of? If you count opaque anagrams and bad ciphers that are all inexplicably in English as puzzles.

LOL! It gave me a few different authors when I put in LJ entries.

That tool would be more interesting if it explained its evaluation...and if it didn't display such a high variance in output.

Depending on which journal entry I used, I got Stephen King, Vladimir Nabokov, H.P. Lovecraft, or Kurt Vonnegut. Eh.

Ha!

Well, did you reference some unspeakable horror barely hinted at?

No, but it was a really long email which could easily have been mistaken for a dark incantation, the recitation of which causes one to lose one's mind.
