I Write Like

I write like
David Foster Wallace

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

I got this link from Jessica Zafra's blog. I write like is an online analyzer that compares your way of writing with literary giants. Even if you write a la Barok, there will still be a writer to whom your style will be compared. This is just something to stroke our egos, at the expense of some famous author.

As for me, the result was David Foster Wallace. I'm honestly not familiar with his works so I googled his name, only to find out he committed suicide on September 12, 2008. Ok, so I write like someone who hanged himself. Wikipedia states that he suffered from depression for 20 years and was maintained on antidepressants. When side effects started to bother him, he tried to wean himself from his medications but his depression worsened. After restoring phenelzine, he found out it no longer worked on him as it did before.Then depression got the better of him.

At least the "I Write Like" application entertained me for a bit, and it introduced me to David Foster Wallace. Jessica Zafra's result, by the way is Vladimir Nabokov. Funny how she dislikes Dan Brown. I wonder how she'd feel if the result yielded Stephenie Meyer.
