On writing styles

Thanks to Dianne for reminding me about this writing analyzer. I'd done this a while ago, so it was time to try again.

For a SF flash fiction piece, to be published in Bete Noire magazine early next year:

I write like
Margaret Atwood
I Write Like by Mémoires, journal software. Analyze your writing!


My current short story (lit fic set in Bombay):

I write like
James Joyce
I Write Like by Mémoires, journal software. Analyze your writing!


Novel in progress (YA SF):

I write like
Dan Brown
I Write Like by Mémoires, journal software. Analyze your writing!


Novel in progress #2 (YA urban fantasy):

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


Dan Brown??!! Really?

I went through a Margaret Atwood phase several years ago and enjoyed it, but as I say on my blog... I try to avoid novels these days. How many words do you use to be analyzed?

try to analyze some Dan Brown and see who he writes like

The more text you enter, the better. I used a page or two for each sample. Good idea re: Dan Brown!
