I write like...

I ran a chapter of mine through this analyzer and got this result:


I write like
Anne Rice
I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

I'm sort of ... stunned.

Especially because it was Captain Devlin's Captive, not Vampire Close.

So then I ran a chapter from a non-fiction book I'm working on


I write like
H. P. Lovecraft
I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

***SQUEE***

I could only hope to write like him.  That would be so cool.

So, if you try it, let me know in the comments what you get!!!

Titanic Disaster ... Fun??












May 23, 1914
Luna Park on Coney Island opens its summer season with a "spectacular" depiction of the Titanic Disaster "in three amazing acts."

Note the people falling off the end of the ship.  And the heads bobbing in the water.

Way to keep it classy, Coney Island of 1914.  World War I is just around the corner. Wonder what you can do with that....

Save Two-Thirds

I'm under deadline, so I've been away (I apologize).

Found this during research, though, and had to share.

Can you imagine what being a doctor was like when the possibility of saving two-thirds of your patients was the best, most exciting thing an advertisement could say about its medicine?

So basically, you knew you would always lose a third of the people you saw, and probably more like half.
