    No wonder I feel like I missed my calling.

    Any other potential novelists here?

    I put in some stuff I wrote a year ago and it says I write like Dan Brown.

    I put in some stuff I wrote in June, and it says I write like David Foster Wallace.

    Not surprising, since my style has changed. I wouldn't say it has improved, but I have adapted it to what my work requires. So it fits the job better.

    However, I put in some stuff I wrote a couple of weeks ago, and it says I write like Ursula K. Le Guin.

    It seems to be all over the map.

    I had an idea for a movie script last night. It would be a sci-fi movie set in 2020.

    I plan on starting a non-fictional book later this year. Wish me luck.

    Oooooh! I have a memoir coming out next year, so I pasted in a couple of chapters to see what it said. Apparently I write like Douglas Adams!

    Which is awesome and flattering, because I adore him, even though I don't see the resemblance, myself

    Apparently, the constant struggle between squirrels and rabbits reminds the program of Sicilian Mafioso.

    Hm, out of curiosity, I did the rest of my book in sections. I get three recurring authors: Douglas Adams, David Foster Wallace, and William Gibson. I'm not familiar with the other two, though...guess I have to check them out.

    For fun I did a couple sections from WT literature- One guy wrote like Kurt Vonnegut and the other like James Joyce- I guess writing like someone doesn't automatically give you good ideas to write about.

    I submitted two different samples and got: Dan Brown and then H.P. Lovecraft. LOL!

    Well i had a dream that i was back out in FS,

    and everyone in the car was told to pop a happy pill (anti depressant)

    so the HH could see that we were the happiest people

    on earth. I'm not a writer but that's some good stuff

    to put in a book.
