The thought that I should try this meme (I don't do memes) crept into the back of my head, wandered around for a bit and then bounced up and down on my cortex before slithering off for a cup of tea and a relaxing shower.

Just to keep it quiet and give the other voices a chance I decided I should try it out. Apparently:

I write like
Douglas Adams

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

Edited to add: Just to test the accuracy of the analyzer, I tried some Dimpler Towers text. People have told me that there is a Vivian Stanshall vibe going on there, others have suggested something between Pratchett and Wodehouse. The analyzer tells me it's more like Dan Brown.

Thank you and good night.

I'd rather read Dimpler than Dan Brown any day.

I have a feeling that all it looks at is something simple like sentence length, rather than structure or the words used or anything.

It's prolly somethin like sentence length.

I got James Joyce, Dan Brown and Stephen King, depending on which text I posted.

James Joyce?! You unsung genius, you.

I got Dan Brown for two wildly different samples, so basically I could just die of shame.

I put in an 800 word op/ed - I got David Foster Wallace.
