I got Stephen King twice, Dan Brown once. And then…it really, really hurt, too; but one of my romance scenes got me Stephenie Meyer. ;-;

Fantastic round-up! We missed a lot of these in ours, and I can see I’ll need to set aside some time to enjoy all these. Thanks so much for putting it together!

Apparently I write like James Joyce. Oh, my!

I used my blog post on Sunday Rest and ee cummings (minus the poem) for the analysis.

And thus I had to write about my Joyce experiences: http://meditativemeanderings.blogspot.com/2010/07/i-write-like.html

Comment on My 13 Year old is at College! by Susan

My 13-yr-old is also at JBA right now. We don’t hear from her often. She is apparently taking Latin and having a blast. It is strange to have her gone. I expected her to miss us, but I don’t think that is happening. I think that just as this is a taste of college for them, it is also a taste of “college” for us parents as we let them go. This is my firstborn, so I am just guessing.

I think it said something about being based off sentence structure, rhythm, etc, not subject matter.

I write like Stephen King for my WiP, and I can’t remember who I got for my last novel, but it was someone else.

I put in several different excerpts–one, a short story about childhood, and another an article about education. I kept getting William Gibson and David Foster Wallace. I’m not at all familiar with William Gibson, so I’ll have to look him up. I’m curious what formula it uses in its analysis.

I too write like Stephen King. Which in fact is almost a compliment, because he is a good writer despite his unfortunate subject-matter.

But I’m still a little depressed about it.
