kelly_chamblissStill playing with the writing-style analyzer...and it's definitely a key-word thing. I produced the following piece of bad prose by simply typing, without stopping, whatever occurred to me; the result is a combination of lyrics from an old song and the random oddness that comes to mind at 1:30 in the morning.
Through the sycamore the candlelight is gleaming; from the fields there comes the breath of new-mown hay. She thinks she sees the banks of the river far away. On the other side of the river, there winds a long and dusty road. it looks as if no human has walked it in decades, centuries, eons. The world looks empty and desolate; it all feels far from home. ________ stands silently for several moments, wishing that night would fall or that some sound would make itself heard.
I ran this masterpiece through the style machine several times. When I filled in the blank with the names "Jennifer," "Harry," and "Callie," I was told I write like Dan Brown. When I used the names "Walter" and "Stephen," I got James Joyce. But when I used "Minerva," "Hermione," "Filius," and even "Ron," I got J. K. Rowling.
