I WAS visiting Laura Miller's art journal blog - look for her link over on the blog roll at the right - and then went to visit l'Astronave's blog (also on blog roll). I really should be doing my hair. I'm late for a date with relatives!! Argh! They will probably read this someday so I will have to be truthful about my whereabouts! Not that I would have lied, anyway. They never expect me on time.
Anyway, on l'Astronaves blog I saw she had submitted a blog post into "I Write Like" and got her answer - she writes like David Foster Wallace - so I thought I would quickly try it.
My jaw dropped when I saw who this analysis says I write like: Chuck Palahniuk. Oh my gosh! My hero. I've always wanted to take this Portland writer's class "Writing Dangerously."
Life can't get better than flattery like this - femminismo
Congratulations. My biggest fear is to be told I write like Enid Blyton.
ReplyDeletethis made me think of who I would like to write like - Natalie Goldberg came to mind - I find her books quite inspirational!
ReplyDeleteI had to google that author, and learned he writes what he calls "transgressive fiction," including "Fight Club"!
ReplyDeleteWhoah.
Impressive.
I'm Laura Miller's daughter and she recommended that I visit you. What a thoughtful and inspiring blog you have! Glad I stopped by!
ReplyDeleteOh great. I write like Stephen King. So I took it again with my "real" writing and find that my "real" writing is like --brace yourself -- Vladimir Nabokov's.
ReplyDeleteVa va voom! Say, this was fun, Jeanne. Thanks much. (Now I really like Chuck, btw. If you write like him, do you really need to take that course?!)
Take care!
Candace
that would have to be the best compliment - I have so many heros -
ReplyDeleteright now it's Michael Ontaage - the english patient..
