    For all writers- fun test

    http://iwl.me

    iwl is short for "I write like..."

    You have to try this website. Copy a text in you have written and it will tell you like what famous writer you write. I copied my post about Orion's roof adventure and got the following comment:

    "I write like
    Edgar Allan Poe"

    I had no idea he was German

    Vladimir Nabokov is a russian author. He wrote Lolita, The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, & A Russian Beauty and Other Stories along with others. Some were novels (first off in russian, then later he wrote in english as well), short stories, Poetry & even some plays).

    I love russian literature. I love the way the russians write. I adore Fyodor Dostoyevsky & Anton Chekov the most but also very much enjoy Leo Tolstoy & Vladimir Nabokov as well.

    Hmm, it said I write like Dan Brown.

    Posted a different chunk of text, and it said I write like James Joyce!

    I tried with an e-mail I had sent some time ago, it said I write like Cory Doctorow.

    I don't know him, but I just checked:
    Cory Doctorow (pronounced /ˈkɒri ˈdɒktəroʊ/; born July 17, 1971) is a Canadian blogger, journalist, and science fiction author who serves as co-editor of the blog Boing Boing. He is an activist in favour of liberalising copyright laws and a proponent of the Creative Commons organisation, using some of their licences for his books. Some common themes of his work include digital rights management, file sharing, and post-scarcity economics.[1]

    I tried pasting in some of John's Fister stories, it said he wrote like
    David Foster Wallace.

    I just tried something different & came up with Margaret Mitchell. I was trying to write like Laura Ingalls Wilder did in her Little House Books. Maybe it is the subject matter?
