I write like
Stephen King

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

...what? Wat. Brb, killing myself and/or never writing again. (Sorry. Read a lot of his stuff in high school based on a teacher rec. Only liked The Shining--and even that just for the plot. Not fond of his writing style.)

Now if I could just find one of these that'd tell me that I wrote poetry like Bukowski and all would be forgiven. Except that won't happen b/c I wrote poetry like an emo high schooler. :|


Edit: That was based off a short fic I did (the post-5.22 one), but a journal entry also came up King. >_< But trying that poem, Songsense, from the other day gave me Mario Puzo as a result. Not familiar with that author, hm. (Re-edit: Okay, after checking Wikipedia, all I have to say is o_O...what, again. Oy.)

I got fucking JD Salinger when I put one of my LJ posts on there. D:

HAHA I got him for my blog entries. Thankfully my fic is like Tolkein or Margaret Atwood. XD

Feel better - I saw one that said "I write like YOUR MOM."

Hmm, I didn't think about putting poetry in there...

Lol, I kinda like King's stories, although I'm not really sure about his writing style either.

I write my entries like King, my stories like Joyce.

I really think the meme goes mostly off of word usage - like certain words or kinds of words, sentence length, etc. It's a very rough approximation. And anyway, King sells! And of the bestsellers you could get, King's not bad - one of my friends got Dan Brown. And I keep getting James Joyce - who reads him? I don't know, having never read him, but I'm betting the answer is "jerks." The only exceptions I got were Margaret Atwood, Vladimir Nabokov, and Leo Tolstoy. idk!

Haha, I think this meme is the weirdest one ever. People are getting the strangest results.
