BONUS POST FOR RABID FANS

I couldn't resist sharing this.  A couple of days ago Dave Gordon sent me a link to a site called I Write Like, which analyses your writing style, compares it to famous authors, and tells you who you write like.  I entered the text for my first review in this blog, It.  This was the result:


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

I then put in the first five pages of the Stitches script.  Apparently it has a lot in common with:


I write like
Mark Twain
I Write Like by Mémoires, journal software. Analyze your writing!

Then I put in the first few pages of my long gestating novel, The Hallow Inn:


I write like
William Gibson
I Write Like by Mémoires, journal software. Analyze your writing!

The curious thing is that when you click on the author's name, it brings you to Amazon so you can buy their books.  A cynic might say that this is a clever marketing ploy, but those of us who truly understand literature - Joyce, Twain, Gibson, myself - would point our fingers at those non-believers and call them a 'penis breath.'

Next up... what I hinted at in the previous post.
