Okay, that little "analysis" offends me. Dan Brown? Seriously? It told me TWICE that I write like Dan Brown. The Da Vinci Code is boring at best and predictable at worst. I don't know if I like this little analysis thing asserting that I write that way. Blah.

I'm just hoping Journey isn't as dry or predictable. Let's put it this way: by page 37 of the Da Vinci Code, my Dad knew who the big baddie was. He also feels that it, in part, had some computer generated text---ala John Grisham. I don't know how it determines someone's "writing style," but I don't know that it's accurate.

I thought this was very interesting! I got quite a variety of answers, too. H.P. Lovecraft, Nabokov, Raymond Chandler, Ian Fleming, Kurt Vonnegut, Chuck Palahniuk, and Dan Brown. I can't help but wonder how that little analysis works. I'm going to guess it measures how much dialogue you use, sentence length, key vocabulary words, perhaps, to determine how much description you use, and things like that.

I got Stephen King when I entered my novel excerpt, and Joyce when I entered a bit of my journal. That's a coinkidink.
