Who do you write like?

I found this way fun site: http://iwl.me/ where you paste in a writing sample and it analyzes your writing style to tell you who you write like. WAY COOL, HUH?

These are mine:

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

I write like
Ursula K. Le Guin

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

I write like
Neil Gaiman

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

I was hoping C.S. Lewis would come up because we write similar themes, but my actual style is more modern.

Go a head and give it a try!!!

    I posted 2, the first scene of my first chapter and the final scene of the book, and got James Joyce both times. Hmm, maybe Irish writers just have a common way of writing?

    Hmm okay, whe I pasted in my entire ms, it told me I write like Chuck Palahniuk.

    He's... different than Joyce, certainly.

    I did this some time ago and it came up Nabokov. I should try it again and see if my writing style has changed! (I also thought of writing some gobbledegook and seeing who it came up with....)

    This is way cool! I got Stephen King, L.Frank Baum and Agatha Christie. Now if only I could get other people to think I write this well, I would have no worries! :)

    An excerpt of my blog told me I write like Lovecraft while some of my novel came out with Lewis Carrol! This is insanely cool

    Very cool! I posted a small sample of my new novel, "Treasure of El Grado Escaso" and the analysis said that I write like Ernest Hemingway. I then posted a much bigger sample of the "in progress" novel and it still said that I write like Ernest Hemingway.
    I next posted several excerpts from my yet unpublished book, "Three Seconds On, Three Seconds Off" (about my growing up on a lighthouse on the west coast of Canada)for analysis and it said I write like Edgar Allen Poe. For my third and final post, I plugged in some of my novel, "In Ravenscrag's Shadow" and it said that I write like Stephen King. I'm definitely flattered!

    This is awesome. I did it on 4 pieces and it came up with 4 authors, I'm a schizophrenic.

    You know, it was recommended we be prepared to answer who we write like before I went in and did a pitch. I had no idea. I could compare stories, but not writing styles. Just now I got Dan Brown and H.P. Lovecraft.

    That was fun! I write like Stephen King, which is okay with me - even though I don't write scary stuff.

    Heh :-D

    I put in my 'Z' post from the A to Z challenge, which I modeled on What the Tortoise said to Achilles by Lewis Carroll... and it said I write like Lewis Carroll. This pleases me mucho.

    Thanks for sharing this!
