I did that writing meme so many LJ friends are doing. Using different LJ posts and some excerpts from the two Coventry novels, I’ve apparently written like James Joyce, Dan Brown, Stephen King, J.D. Salinger, Chuck Palahniuk, Mark Twain, and FINALLY, a woman, Margaret Atwood. Which might disappoint her, as I once had a class with her and she was quite stern about my need to differentiate between “voices” in writing.
If you’d like what I’m sure is a highly accurate and scientific analysis of your writing, you’ll find your chance here.
I got Margaret Atwood, Jack London, and Stephen King a bunch of times. That’s quite a range.
I was hoping to get Timothy J. Lambert.
You and Ricky Martin.

And I write like PG Wodehouse, Stephen King and Raymond Chandler, lol! I wish!!
I wouldn’t mind writing like P.G. Wodehouse!
Stephen King must be popular because I got him twice. I also got Mark Twain.
I think it’s time you wrote your novel.
I apperantly write like Dan Brown, with a little Charles Dickens and H. P. Lovecraft thrown in… ^~^
You’re quite versatile.
You know, I used to have a black t-shirt, and all it said over the left breast was “VERSATILE”. It was a gift… or maybe, rather, an award…
But that, my friend, is a story for another time.
Stories “for another time” are always the best stories.
For an author to steal.
Writing Meme
As I’m not a “seasoned writer” as all of you here,
So I guess you’re saying your writing is strong enough for a man, yet pH balanced for a woman? LOL

That’s my Secret.
Oh All Right
My very very first LJ entry :> David Foster Wallace (whoever that is)
So, I tried the entry that started all of the Intelligence entries :> Douglas Adams. That was written near the time of the shooting at Virginia Tech. It is fair to point out that I did make a Douglas Adams reference in that entry.
I love irony.

Re: Oh All Right
Ha! I like the ad. But hey, if we’re all finding out we already write like all these brilliant writers, we don’t NEED help, right?
Re: Oh All Right
True. But, *If* I truly wrote like Douglas Adams and had the “right story” to tell… who knows.
Honestly though, I think I would need a writers class.
