Rate Yourself, Then Buy Tickets

A colleague posted me the below link.

I Write Like

What you do, is you put a chunk of your writing in there and it “analyses” it and tells you who you write like.

I think scientifically it’s as meaningful as generating your porn name, but it does have that self importance factor that all rampant egotists can’t avoid.

I gave it three goes before posting this blog.

About Shanghai Ball, it told me I write like J.K Rowling (show me the money)

On All Roads Lead to Pollution, it thought I sounded like Isaac Asimov (show me the money)

On Long Way to The Mop, it accused me of sounding like Jack London (show me the… morphine)

I gave it a passage of Oscar Wilde, and it decided he could've made a passable living as a ghost writer for James Joyce.
 
Good one.
