Or it would if I could get the frigging HTML to work...


I write like
J. R. R. Tolkien

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





Except then of course I started to think like a statistician. 'Your writing is most like 'x'' is not any guarantee that your writing is at all like 'x', just that it is more like 'x' than any of the other options in the list. So then I wondered how many fantasy writers were in the list of 'great writers' available for comparison. As an experiment I took another sample of text from my book, and this time found one which did not contain the words 'Elf', 'Elves' or 'Elvish' (which is surprisingly tricky for a book in which the main character is half Elvish). To my distinct delight I got the same result. I scanned the sample of text more carefully and discovered it contained the phrase 'company of riders'. Hmmm, thought I.

So then I found a part which was basically description of landscape. I got Rudyard Kipling. Which is still kind of cool. Then I picked another section, which contained a small amount of dialogue. Mario Puzo. WTF?

So my book is apparently a Tolkienesque tale set in far Mandelay where everyone talks like mobsters.
