I write like
Stephen King

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




I tried a few different snippets and got this three times, so let's go with it. My gayest bit had me as Raymond Chandler though; what's with that? I wonder about the Stephen King though too... none of it was horror! ;-P

A friend of my daughter did some messing with this and worked out that it's searching for specific words and matching them.

He input a few paras of an Agatha Christie novel, changing the names, and the result was... someone else. When he put the names back in, he got Agatha.

Tried a few other things and decided it matches up specific words.

Ah well, I strongly doubt it's particularly accurate anyway! How come only your friend got a woman (and that by default!)? Whoever invented it obviously has no idea that women novelists exist apart from the lovely Agatha, as I'm sure some of us at least must write more like other women! ;-)

Haha! Love your icon! ;-P
