Hmmm…

I write like
Stephen King

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

Well then. Not at all what I expected. This nifty little application analyzes your writing—with a “statistical analysis tool,” no less—and tells you what famous author it most resembles.

So I had a short story scrutinized, followed by a handful of articles and feature stories, then some random long-form stuff I’ve done here at AMD. Apart from the occasional anomaly (H.P. Lovecraft, George Orwell), the overwhelming consensus seems to be that I write like Stephen King.

That’s a pretty strong case for a raise, I’m thinking.

That’s a lot of fun, but it’s totally bunk. I got James Joyce, Margaret Atwood, Jane Austen, Kurt Vonnegut, Margaret Mitchell, and Sylvia Plath (twice). So I pasted in one of Sylvia’s poems, and the result was Kurt Vonnegut.

And the Gender Genie? I’m all man too. (Told ya!)

But it’s a statistical analysis tool. How could it go wrong?
