I write like...
So out of sheer boredom, I decided to run all of my fics through the I Write Like test to see what that nifty little machine is comming up with. So without further ado, I present to you the authors I supposedly resemble in word choice and writing style:
And Yet I Scream Prologue: Stephen King
And Yet I Scream Chapter 01: Chuck Palahniuk
And Yet I Scream Chapter 02: Chuck Palahniuk
And Yet I Scream Chapter 03: Bram Stoker
And Yet I Scream Chapter 04: Stephen King
And Yet I Scream Chapter 05: Chuck Palahniuk
And Yet I Scream Epilogue: George Orwell
Echoes Of A Scream 01: Stephen King
Moon Children Chronicles 01: Margaret Atwood
Moon Children Chronicles 02: Stephen King
Moon Children Chronicles 03: Stephen King
Moon Children Chronicles 04: Mark Twain
Moon Children Chronicles 05: Dan Brown
Staying Afloat: Mark Twain
Staying Wet: Chuck Palahniuk
A Kiss To Build A Dream On: Dan Brown
A Million Sparks: Stephen King
Don't: J.R.R. Tolkien
Driving Lessons: Stephen King
Guilty Pleasure: Mark Twain
I Watch Them: Stephen King
In Your Eyes: Stephen King
Into The Dark: Ian Fleming
It's An Autopsy: Vladimir Nabokov
Mask, Mirror, Monster: Chuck Palahniuk
Pure Morning: Ernest Hemingway
Regret: Dan Brown
Strawberry Kiss: James Joyce
Tastes Like Joy: James Joyce
Thin Ice: Chuck Palahniuk
Endless Night: Kurt Vonnegut
Keep It Precious: Margaret Atwood
Sweet Dreams: Margaret Atwood
Winter Wonderland: Vladimir Nabokov
Night Song: Chuck Palahniuk
Where You'll Be Safe: James Joyce
Bedroom Mischief: Vladimir Nabokov
Bending Over: James Joyce
Birthday Cake: Dan Brown
Not As Expected: Dan Brown
One Hundred Words: James Joyce
Redrum: Charles Dickens
The End Of The World: Stephen King
The Scent of Strawberries: Stephen King
By the way, if I counted correctly I have published 44 stories/installments in this LJ over the past 13 months. *scratches head* Is that a lot?
Now what do you think of the authors my style can apparently be likened to? I have to confess that I'm not familiar with the style of most, though safe for two or three I've at least heard of all. Some of the likenesses amuse me endlessly, some puzzle me. I think it's great that AYIS is mainly comprised of Chuck Palahniuk and Stephen King if only because according to this tool it means I've kept a style.
The thing is, I don't really know what to make of this list. Now I don't know how the tool operates, and I sent my fics through for the lulz mainly... it would certainly be interesting to feed my older works to it, but I kind of don't want to currently.
But the main problem I've always head with myself is that I find myself lacking a distinct style, a certain... voice so to speak? I have yet to find what makes me unique as an author, especially since I will soon starting to be writing my novel in earnest. And in order for that to ever get published... I believe it is important for me to develop my own style. Otherwise I'm just one of many just as I am now, right?
Anyhow, thoughts?
