DAY 55Word Count: 34,451
Sentence of the Day: Darkness bathed his body as he stalked down the corridor until he was submerged, leaving behind nothing but a shiver.
A writer buddy of mine (waving at Yvonne Anderson) introduced me to an interesting web site. It's called I Write Like. All you do is enter a chunk of your writing and wham-o! It analyzes your style and compares you to a well known author.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has long been on my TBR pile but I suppose I'll really have to flip open the cover now. Apparently I write like Douglas Adams.
The first time I tried it, that is.
I never can leave well enough alone. So I revisited and entered a different sample--from the same manuscript--and this time it came up with William Shakespeare. Seriously? Not that I mind being compared to the bard, but really...whoda thunk?
Obviously this site isn't rocket science, but it sure is fun. Give it a whirl and see who you write like.

I'd forgotten about that. I'll have to try it again. LOL If I find one I like, then I'll stick with it. snicker
If I had to guess, Ane, I'd say Erma Bombeck for you.
Oh my gosh, this sounds like so much fun! I'll have to try it. That's funny that your writing was compared to Shakespeare, lol! -- your writing is definately easier to read. (Love the sentence of the day. You are so creative with words. :-)
Let me know who you write like, Gwen. I'd love to know!
Okay, I just entered my ramblings for this Saturday's post. I got Neil Gaiman. Who is that???
Holy cow, Gwen! He's a prolific author. Check out: http://www.neilgaiman.com/
Oh, cool! Hmmm...he looks like a Ted Dekker type. I might have to read one of his books and see if I agree with "I Write Like". :-)
Hey...you think it's a conspiracy to get us to buy other author's books to see if we really do write like them? If so, how the heck do I get my name on there?!
I tried again too. This time I used the first page of The Story in the Stars. Now it says I write like Dan Brown! Sorry, but that's no compliment. Now I'm depressed.
Eat a quart of Ben & Jerry's Phish Food and shake it off.
