So apparently some automated literature-comparing system thinks my writing style is most similar to authors of various famed gothic literature and the guy who wrote Lolita.

Wonderful.  I'm officially disgusted by myself.

lmao.......

I got Bram Stoker... probably because I had the word Dracula in there.

EDIT: Ooooh, I got Jack London for another text....

And when I combined the 2... which ever is first, gets it... so if I put the text with dracula, I get Bram Stoker, and jack if the other is first. This analyze things sucks.

I'm self-taught in writing like I am with my art so I can't say for sure whom I write like.

I did, but I haven't really found anything in there to indicate a close resemblance. I'll have to go through it again just to be sure.
