I write like myself. Thanks Anyway

One of my writer's group shared this, and, like many in the group I was bemused to find widely varied results from each the 'typical' samples I chose... Mary and Jesus blog from on here

I write like

I tried about a dozen more...and hardly ever got the same author twice. Arthur C. Clarke....Dan Brown (:P) ...Douglas Adams... L.Frank Baum...even David Foster Wallace??

Finally, by a narrow margin, I have a winner: Stephen King. Yay?
