I write like...

Oscar Wilde and William Gibson. Kind of aiming for Sam Lake, but I severely doubt the site would put him in the same caliber as everyone else.

Tell me about it. For most of mine I'm like who? Shakespeare is flattering but I've never been too impressed with him...frankly I think he's highly overrated like Tolkien or most of the so called Greats of literature. Most of them were guys just like us striving to put thoughts down on paper, torturing themselves over the right word just out of their reach, fighting the never ending battle against the dreaded writer's block.

I think the site uses some sort of algorithm to analyze sentence structure and word usage. I doubt it can compare something complex like imagery, themes and metaphors, and all the stuff that really matters to us writers.

So this comparison game can be really fun but don't take it too seriously guys.

It's all over the place but I have to admit, the one that made me smile big was Neil Gaiman. WOOT! LOL! Also neat to get Arthur Clarke.

Thanks for the interesting link!

It's interesting because according to the site Oscar Wilde writes like Anne Rice.

Hmmm... Margaret Atwood... had to hit Google up on that one. I would've guessed Parke Godwin... probably my strongest influence.

Interesting! Fun tool!
