Gertrude's work was described by another peer as "In Gertrude Stein's writing every word lives and, apart from concept, it is so exquisitely rhythmical and cadenced that if we read it aloud and receive it as pure sound, it is like a kind of sensuous music. Just as one may stop, for once, in a way, before a canvas of Picasso, and, letting one's reason sleep for an instant, may exclaim: "It is a fine pattern!" so, listening to Gertrude Steins' words and forgetting to try to understand what they mean, one submits to their gradual charm."<br /><br />I don't think so.

However, it was interesting to see that no matter what I'm writing, my style never changes. Hopefully, that'll work out for me later when it comes time build a following. :-) <br /><br />Great post!Justine Darkholmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06592400183826040495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-46001843175289814172011-09-01T10:12:21.533-04:002011-09-01T10:12:21.533-04:00I put in two different samples--the upcoming Mutua...I put in two different samples--the upcoming Mutual Fantasy (EC) and Prime Defender (EC, Sept. 2) and was told I write like Margaret Atwood. I've never read her work, so I don't know whether I agree or not--but the samples were quite different, so I can't imagine the content would have been what caught the software's "attention". <br /><br />It was a fun exercise!Ann Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176748768155458312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-2689940074642749662011-09-01T09:23:57.011-04:002011-09-01T09:23:57.011-04:00I actually think it's a huge mistake to compar...I actually think it's a huge mistake to compare your writing to that of any other author. Ultimately, you want your writing voice to be as unique as your fingerprints -- you want to write just like yourself, with a voice that stands out as individual.Shannon Donnellyhttp://www.sd-writer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-60689946702823624822011-09-01T08:57:59.397-04:002011-09-01T08:57:59.397-04:00I tried this for In His Arms and got Stephen King ...I tried this for In His Arms and got Stephen King - LOL.
