  2. It says I write like Cory Doctorow, and it congratulated me. :hello:

    Uh, who's Cory Doctorow, anyway? :confused:
     
  3. i didn't know who jonathan swift was either so i googled him. he was alive in the 1600's and 1700's.
     
  4. I know of Jonathan Swift. Great writer! I guess I'll have to google this Cory cat, and figure him out.
     
  5. I guess I write like some chick named Stephanie Meyer. :confused:

    Edit: I googled it. Fuck.
     
  6. HP Lovecraft, awesome!
     
  7. harry harrison, apparently.

  10. I just wrote "I like to sit on my front stoop, and smoke blunts, and drink 40's. then I blow the smoke in some little girls direction and toss my 40 without lookin. Den I bounce cause I dont need to catch wreck." and apparently I write like "Raymond Chandler" :confused_2: I'm pretty sure he didn't write like a hood rat....

    I write like Charles Dickens. How flattering!

    I'd like to see some of what you guys wrote, I'll post mine if you guys do!

    edit:
    Decided I'd post this shit, because hey, why not!?

    "As I walked down the illuminated corridor of the entrance to the alehouse, I could still see him. A childhood memory. I could do naught to muffle these noises inside of my head, day and night, I could hear his cries.

    For twenty long years I'd seen him, whenever I'd close my eyes, his image painted on my palpebra, like some vile taste-less mosaic, I would catch a glimpse of his face. It wasn't the once youthful, ignorant stare I had once remembered him fondly by. But a cold fissured look, like he'd been broken.

    But a single frame, it's all I could remember. This mere frame, a split second in time, has haunted me for decades. Me looking down at my once energetic friend. Surrounded by law officials and paramedics.

    Me, a mere child, was designated identifying his corpse.

    On this night, I was to commit a murder myself, the murder of my conscience. I just wanted to annihilate every last brain cell containing his likeness. To drown the sorrow in an unholy display of indulgence. The bottle. "

    Come on bros!
     
  14. Raymond Chandler...whoever the fuck that is lol
     
  15. It says I write like Ernest Hemmingway:D


    I wrote some lyrics to an old song I wrote:


    "I'm tired of walking on eggshells, I'm worn out chasing after you."
    "You say you're not sure you love me, what am I supposed to do?"
    " You kiss me like you were my sister, you hug me like I'm just a friend."
    " If you can't show me some passion, this thing of ours is at it's end"

    Doesn't sound anything like the Hemmingway I've read:rolleyes:
     
  16. i posted some poetry i wrote:

    Spend your time behind the wall,
    Build it up enough to let it fall.
    Let it fall, all the way down,
    Bricks forgotten lay all ‘round.
    Each a memory, smeared with regret,
    Firmly set, an attempt to forget.
    Your mind a basin, due to tip,
    All it took was one little slip.
    Pushed to the edge, unprotected back,
    One option left, and that's attack.

    but i just put that in again, and it gave me another writer?? :confused:
     
  17. Edgar Allen Poe. :cool:
