Rick's Plug Nickel: New Blog Site

I'm putting this blog in mothballs. I've moved to a shiny new site at:

Hope to see you there.

JUST FOR FUN/excellent procrastination device

Although this novelty program will always say you write like some famous author, even if you write like a chimpanzee with a typewriter, it can be fun to play with and may surprise you. For example: Even I am not fool enough to believe that I actually write like Chuck Palaniuk, but interestingly enough, when I submit a long piece, say a few thousand words, his name pops up about 75% of the time.

In addition, I've probably played with this a hundred times and, despite the fact that I consistently fail to mention "farts" in my work, the program has equated my work to male writers 100% of the time. Out of curiosity, I did some experimentation and found that the program associated my female test subjects with famous women authors just as consistently.

My advice: Have some fun with it before the PC police shut down this sexist program.

I write like
Chuck Palahniuk

I Write Like by Mémoires, journal software. Analyze your writing!

Check which famous writer you write like with this statistical analysis tool, which analyzes your word choice and writing style and compares them with those of the famous writers.

Any text in English will do: your latest blog post, journal entry, comment, chapter of your unfinished book, etc. For reliable results paste at least a few paragraphs (not tweets).
