As a little side note, I found the “I Write Like” writing analyzer listed in C.B. Wentworth’s blogroll so out of curiosity, I tried it out.
I write like
J. D. Salinger
J. D. Salinger
I Write Like by Mémoires, journal software. Analyze your writing!
Phew. No pressure, San. Seriously. No pressure.
I’m not familiar with his work (I know… how could I have made it through high school without reading The Catcher in the Rye?) What do you think?
I plugged in some other random pieces and got the following: Cory Doctorow, H.P. Lovecraft, David Foster Wallace, Dan Brown and Margaret Atwood.
Phew.
12 Novels in 12 Months 
It’s a fun little toy, isn’t it. 🙂
I hope it gave you a little boost.
It completely made my day! Thank you! How did you find it? I’m recommending it to all my friends and family. I think I’m going to need a massage for my tired little neck because it’s so sore from holding up this GIANT EGO!
BAHAHAHAHA
It certainly gave me the little boost I needed to get through the rest of this month! Thank you so much!
Omg that’s awesome! Totally gonna try it out. I don’t think I’ve read any Salinger either but I’m pretty sure that’s a major compliment!

Thanks! I’d be thrilled if the little analyzer said I wrote like Dr. Seuss! I’ll have to check out J.D.’s work and see what it’s like.
Apparently I write like Margaret Mitchell who wrote Gone With The Wind… Never read that one either!
You’re running with the heavy weights of the literary world. Congratulations! I’ve never read the book but I saw the movie. I loved it.
Did Salinger know he wrote Westerns? *wide grin*
No pressure, San 🙂
I’m pretty sure it’s news to him too.
No pressure, J.D. no pressure.
