Atom While browsing the internet, I found a fun tool via Ballastexistenz called I Write Like. The idea is that you paste some of your writing into its box and it analyses it to make a guess at which famous writer your style most resembles. No idea how accurate it is, but I put through every blog entry currently in this version of La Canta Magnifico Blog (archival and current). Here are the authors I apparently write like, in order of frequency and with the entries where that style is supposedly shown indicated. Entries forming part of the "Favourite Blogs" selection are asterisked:
