Well, it’s confirmed (sort of), I have a MWPD (Multiple Writers Personality Disorder).
Have you ever wondered what author influences your writing or who you write like? Now, you can find out.
I Write Like – checks which famous writer you write like by analyzing your word choice and writing style and comparing them with those of the famous writers. Analyze your text, here.
I ran my short story collection as well as my current novel in progress through the “I Write Like,” software for analysis and discovered:
Agatha Christie
About Agatha Christie
“Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie DBE was a British crime writer of novels, short stories, and plays. She also wrote romances under the name Mary Westmacott, but she is best remembered for her 66 detective novels and more than 15 short story collections (especially those featuring Hercule Poirot or Miss Jane Marple). According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Christie is the best-selling novelist of all time. Her novels have sold roughly four billion copies, and her estate claims that her works rank third, after those of William Shakespeare and the Bible, as the most widely published books.” (Read more on Wikipedia)

Oh my, what excellent comparisons. With only a moment to spare this morning, my free-style 50 words likened me to Edgar Allan Poe today (my favorite author when I was in 6th grade). I can hardly wait to check again. What a fun post, Sheila!

So I put one of my blog posts in, and was told I write like James Joyce.
Put in another, and was told I write like Cory Doctorow.
Never read Joyce, never heard of Doctorow 🙂

I’ve gotten Stephen many times or Kurt Vonnegut. This is the most consistent, but hey, maybe we’re on to something; MWPD is contagious! 😉
