Who do you write like? HT: Rebecca, my blogging buddy, who much to her chagrin writes like Dan Brown.
on the care and feeding of boys
Well Hello There!
I'm Rachel Balducci. Welcome to my world! I am married to Paul and we are the parents of five wild and crazy boys -- and one daughter who is made of sugar and spice. Here you'll find my musings on life in a male-dominated household, with the occasional swoon about having a girl.
I'm a writer and a newspaper columnist and my first book, How Do You Tuck In A Superhero and other delightful mysteries of raising boys, was published last year.
If you're passionate about weapons, World Cup soccer, super powers and the NBA, you've come to the right place.

Just tell your friend to try another sample – my first sample yielded Dan Brown as well. Instead of killing myself, I just entered another sample, which yielded Kurt Vonnegut, which I can live with.

I write like Arthur C. Clarke, whomever that is.
I would have preferred Clarke or even Brown to James Joyce. What a drag.
My blog writing earned me a David Foster Wallace, which I was thrilled with; a short story yielded Stephen King.
When it told me my very proper children's book was written in the style of William Gibson, originator of the cyberpunk genre, I started to question the validity of the results
I entered four sections of one piece of writing (one chapter of a book I'm working on) and got the following results:
1. Cory Doctorow
2. Stephen King
3. David Foster Wallace
4. Margaret Mitchell
I'd love it if the site had more info that just the "write like" tags. For instance, some clarification on the formula used to determine the answer.
I write like Margaret Mitchell the author of Gone with the Wind.
Stephen King – Yikes!
I think not.
The first 3 paragraphs of the children's book I have in first draft form earned me an L.Frank Baum. Tomorrow I'm going to dig out the first few paragraphs of an unfinished mystery and see if it will earn me an Agatha Christie… or a Diane Mott Davidson.
