Since we've been thinking about how what we read inspires or influences what we write, I thought it might be fun for you to check out a website I've seen that analyzes a bit of your own writing and tells you what published author your writing is similar to. I tried it with one of my blog posts and evidently I write like Edgar Allan Poe!. Interesting.
Go to I Write Like and try it yourself. Leave a comment on this post telling us your results and what you think of the results. Have you read any of the author's work? What are some of the titles? If you are unfamiliar with your author, research who this person is and some of the titles he or she has written. See what you think! Share your findings with us!

ReplyDeleteI used my oratory and it said I write like Jane Austen, and then I used only of my blog posts and it said I write like Neil Gaiman. I know of Jane Austen, but I'm not familiar with either of their writings.
ReplyDeleteI write like Cory Doctorow; however, I have never heard of him. He wrote the books Pirate Cinema and Homeland.
ReplyDeleteWilliam Shakespeare... I don't know if I should laugh or cry or both.. Maybe I should be honored. I'm a bag if mixed emotions. He likes to write plays about romance and wars.
