You Write Like ...

I've been having fun with a new website, I Write Like, that will analyze your prose and tell you what famous writer you write like.  As an eclectic reader from early on I've never really been sure which writers have influenced my writing style so I thought this fun little program might give me a clue. I tried analyzing several different sections of my manuscript.  My first comparison was to Stephen King, then Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes) then, Stephen King again.  Not bad company - just not what I was expecting.  Have a little fun and see who you write like.

Do we write like guys? Is that a good thing? Has anyone been compared to a female author? Just wondering.

I tried this also, and came up with David Foster Wallace, who had a fondness for long multi-clause sentences until he hanged himself.
