Sentence of the Day: Darkness bathed his body as he stalked down the corridor until he was submerged, leaving behind nothing but a shiver.

A writer buddy of mine (waving at Yvonne Anderson) introduced me to an interesting web site. It's called I Write Like. All you do is enter a chunk of your writing and wham-o! It analyzes your style and compares you to a well known author.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has long been on my TBR pile but I suppose I'll really have to flip open the cover now. Apparently I write like Douglas Adams.

The first time I tried it, that is.

I never can leave well enough alone. So I revisited and entered a different sample--from the same manuscript--and this time it came up with William Shakespeare. Seriously? Not that I mind being compared to the bard, but really...whoda thunk?

Obviously this site isn't rocket science, but it sure is fun. Give it a whirl and see who you write like.
