I had my writing analyzed today. Sound really professional, right?

Not really.

I just copied and pasted a couple of my posts to I Write Like and pushed the analyze button. I had 4 posts analyzed and 3 of the results said that I write like Cory Doctorow. I don’t know who that is. Some famous writer or something – a science fiction novelist. I found his blog. I don’t see the similarities. I must not be much of an analyst. Although he does wear cool glasses and if I were a guy and needed glasses I would totally wear some like his. I guess that means we have the potential to have something in common.

The 4th said I write like David Foster Wallace. I didn’t know who he was either but when I looked him up I found out he committed suicide when he was 47. I think I’ll stick with Cory and his cool glasses.
