I tried this site that analyzes which famous writer one writes like. I didn’t like the result of my first two attempts because the results were Kurt Vonnegut and James Joyce. I don’t know them. Who are they? Writers. Duh.
But like a kid who found a nice toy, I was amazed at the result of my third try. The result says I write like Stephen King. Honestly, I haven’t read any book of him, but who wouldn’t know the Stephen King?
Then I continued “analyzing” my other articles on that site.
Another result that made me joyful was the “Chuck Palahniuk” result. My initial reaction was “Wow. Wow. Chuck Palahniuk!”
But then I know the site’s not accurate and probably the creator of it is just too nice and badly wants to make other “striving” writers to be happy — even just on his site.
Here are the other results (I didn’t paste all my articles there, really).
Kurt Vonnegut – 4 times. Who the heck is that guy.
William Gibson
David Foster Wallace – 3 times
Cory Doctorow – 11 times. Who who.
Ursula K. Le Guin
H. P. Lovecraft
James Joyce for the 3rd time.
Anne Rice
Chuck Palahniuk- 2 times
Lewis Carroll (haha. of course. My post was about Carroll’s book.)
Dan Brown- 3 times(What? Haha. I don’t think so.)
Stephen King-6 times
Margaret Atwood -3
Harry Harrison
Arthur Conan Doyle (LOL. simply because the article I wrote was about Sherlock Holmes, I already write like Doyle ?)
Arthur Clarke
Robert Louis Stevenson
So, I figured out the site doesn’t really analyze articles based on your writing style. It analyzes your articles based on the topic of your articles.
Kurt Vonnegut – siguro dahil ito sa quotes mo about dark humor. He wrote Slaughterhouse Five, hija.
William Gibson – Siguro siya ang gumawa ng Gibson guitars, maybe. Pero there is this novel called Neuromancer, na nagpauso ng cyberpunk. Yup. Bago pa nagkaroon ng Johnny Mnemonic, The Matrix at Ghost in the Shell, may Neuromancer.
David Foster Wallace – Di ba siya yung ninong ni Charice?
James Joyce – alamat ng English Lit. Hanapin mo sa Booksale ang Ulysses. Siya yung taong may astig na eyepatch na hindi naman pirata.
For the rest, mukha ngang BS iyang site na iyan. Baka pwede nating pakiusapan yung programmer ilagay rin yung names natin para kapag magsearch mga tao tataas ang viewers. :)
Hindi ko yun sinama. Hindi naman akin yun. :)
Hindi ko alam. Si Oprah lang alam kong ninang nya. At yung columnist sa The Phil Star
Na-iimagine ko na magiging reaction nila. “Wow! Jenn Besonia! Jenn Besonia yung result ng akin! . . . Shit! Sino yun?”
By the way, I tried it too. I got Mario Puzo (The Godfather, courtesy of my Cafe Puro commercial), P Lovecraft (Cthulhu) and Dan Brown. Oh, I got David Foster Wallace too.
Nice! (Kahit si Dan Brown lang kilala ko sa mga writer na yan.)
tinry ko din yung site (tnx sa info^^,)
pero kun g sinu-sinong pangalan yung lumabas..hahaha..di ko naman sila kilala
Haha. Pero ayos din yun diba. Informative. At least may nakilala kang “famous” author. ;)
[...] one part of the book. Wallace talks about himself and how he considers himself an unconscious nihilist. His approach to life is [...]
