Odds and Ends

Check out this really fun link Tracy shared on her blog today: I Write Like. You provide a sample then it analyzes your writing and tells you which author you write like. Here are my results:

I write like
Arthur C. Clarke

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!


Jen shared some fun info in her blog this weekend, too. Did you know that Blogger offers stats now for your blog? Just look under Tools and Resources at the bottom of your Dashboard and click on "Blogger in Draft". Interesting to see, not that I was particularly surprised by my stats.

Life has been pretty busy since we got back from vacation. I'm behind on my magazines which, in turn, has kept me from reading books. The Book of Eli arrived from Netflix the other day and I have to say I was rather disappointed in it. The premise and previews had raised my expectations a little too high, I guess, since I thought it was slow and boring. Finally made it to a matinee showing of Eclipse, the third in the Twilight series. I thought it was much better than New Moon. More action and less angst. One of the best parts of the week was seeing our local arts center's summer musical. They did The Producers by Mel Brooks and it was a real hoot! I'm always pleased with what quality productions our community theater puts out.

Now, if I can just make myself turn this blasted computer off I might get some reading done....

I write like

Hmmmm....not a huge Gone with the Wind fan, but her mother was a suffragist. :)

I did this on Facebook and got back that I write like Vladimir Nabokov (famous for 'Lolita'). I don't know HOW that came about! LOL! But it was fun to do.

I'm DYING here without A/C. It's only been 24 hours. I hope I can make it till the repairman gets here tomorrow. I have like 5 fans on me and all they're doing is blowing hot air. I don't know HOW people without A/C do it!! I'm headed out to sit in my truck for a spell. Blessings!

Thanks for the mention. We have The Book Of Eli on order - after hearing so many bad things about it I'm thinking of cancelling. Hoping to see Eclipse sometime soon (this week?), everyone seems to find it the best film out of the three.

Loved the writing analysis.. posted it on my blog. I giggled at Pam's post above.

Did you get any reading done?

My first test said I wrote like P.G. Wodehouse (quite suitable for a cozy mystery, I think), but the next three said James Joyce. Not sure I really believe that - or that it is good for the genre! :D
