Fascinating little site here analyzes your word choice and writing style and tells you whose writing your content resembles. (Hat tip to evilpettingz00 .)

My blog content is like Margaret Atwood's writing, I am told, and my science fiction writing is like Dan Brown's (!).
OK, put me on the same best-seller footing as them, and I'll be very happy. :)

Do you think that's about right? I wonder how it figures these things out. Unfortunately, I haven't read anything by the two authors I came up with, so I can't say. ...Although I do have a feeling I MIGHT have read Gone with the Wind, though I could just be thinking that because the movie was so long, it felt like a book. hahahaha No, seriously.

;D

I don't know. While it is an interesting notion, they don't really say enough about their technique or algorithms or validity testing of same to come to any conclusions about how realistic this is. Though it appears they have made some back-end effort to do a real analysis, and not just produce entertaining results. Hard to say...

I don't admire his writing from a literary viewpoint, but it can't be beat for commercial success, and that's something I would not shake a stick at right about now. Sounds like you're on the same wavelength. Great minds, same rut? :)
