I found this nifty little gadget thanks to Mac McLernon over at 'Mulier Fortis'!
The funny thing is that I used bits of my NaNo Novel that I'm currently working on, and I came up with several different writers! One scene gave me Rudyard Kipling (which I suspect was due to the mention of an elephant [Thank you, Seraphic's inner child!]), another gave me Agatha Christie, and there were a few others for various different scenes. I did get Shakespeare twice, though!
I must say I'm happy that I managed to get British writers for the most part... I really do think they've given us some of the best contributions in Literature. Never mind the fact that I'm an Austenite through and through. :)
But if this little gadget says anything, it tells me that I really do have my own style. My writing may have undertones from other writers, whose work I've studied and read a lot of, but I'm not consistently writing like someone else does.
I write like me. :D
