The title of this post is one that I may use now that I've been officially confirmed as writing like James Joyce, HP Lovecraft and Stephen King!
This article in yesterday's Guardian gives the link to I Write Like, a very useful website (created by coding robots) that can confirm for you which famous writer your prose style most resembles. So in my last post, in three separate paragraphs, I resembled (apparently) the three writers mentioned above. Not bad for a rambling little post about headaches and flowers!!
Try it and find out if your prose style is that of a master - or a money spinner like Dan Brown. I'm off to practise my long stream of consciousness sentences, with ghostly overtones and a building sense of horror, set in a seemingly idyllic small town.....well you get the idea.
Interestingly, THIS post is written in the style of Harry Harrison, a science fiction writer and author of The Stainless Steel Rat, so I'll have to add some intergalactic Irishness into the whole thing. Enjoy the website - I certainly am!!

Oh what a wonderful discovery! I love this. Apparently, I write like Vladimir Nabokov. Perhaps now I should read him . . .
ReplyDeleteOh, and if you want to be in the Shakespeare & Co bookstore today, you can take a virtual tour, which I link at one of my Paris posts. You can go into most of the rooms!

Hi Ruth, thanks for your comments and for the link to Shakespeare and Co. I've spent some time there today - what a fantastic place. I'm glad you liked the website - it's a little addictive :)
ReplyDeleteI'm still thinking about this as I really wouldn't like to find that I write like someone I don't enjoy reading! Flighty xx
ReplyDeleteYou never know, Flighty, it could be someone that you really admire, or someone that makes millions from their books, which could start you on a whole new career!! :)
