First Rule Of Fight Club

I write like
Chuck Palahniuk

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

I saw this a couple different places and had to give it a try, even though I don't actually write that much. I went back into my older entries and dug up four ficlets that I had done over the years. Three out of four times I got Chuck Palahniuk, which is why I posted this badge. It's possible I like my fourth result best. Stephen King. I have a hard time reading his books sometimes, but I consider On Writing to be one of the greatest memoir/writing advice books ever. On the other hand, Fight Club. There was no losing with this.

The person I got the quiz from got Stephen King, and I took it because I would totally like to get him. I would, however, like someone to get an author whose writing hasn't made me nauseous.

The very first one of these I saw, the person got Charles Dickens. I would rather be an author I have a hard time reading (Palahniuk and King, both) than my mortal enemy. Grr, Dickens. Come back to life to DIAF.

Even though I get sick reading their stuff, I have a much simpler time reading Palahniuk and King than Dickens. And I hate to admit it, but since I have a copy of Great Expectations lying around, I've been considering rereading it. /o\

I seriously, seriously, seriously do not get what's so great about Great Expectations. Some crazy old broad got jilted so she teaches a girl to do that to some poor unsuspecting boy? WTF? And it was a serial that people read for entertainment. I DON'T GET IT!

People must've been really, really bored in Dickens's day.

I'll buy that. It's been a while since I've taken an English class but wasn't Dickens writing during the Industrial Revolution?

Yeah, he was really big during the Victorian era. And his stories were a notable part of Little Women, which was around the Civil War, so that tells you what kinds of things were going on in the world.
