to waste some time on. There is a new deal called "I Write Like" which will take some of any text you have written, analyze it, and tell you who you write like. So, I took the first page and half of my novel and got:
So, for grins, I took my most recent review that was on the cozy mystery "Devils Island" by Carl Brookins and got:
What does it all mean? Is it remotely accurate?
Heck, if I know. But, it is kind of fun to do and it could easily get addictive because I bet each piece of my fiction as well as most of my reviews would generate vastly different authors than the two examples above. The site is at http://iwl.me/ should you be son inclined to try it.

I subjected my novel to the analysis and it said I wrote like JRR Tolkein.
I suspect it focuses more on words used than patterns.

Accurate? Doubtful; but fun.
