You can compare yourself to the Great Writers--well, and some well known writers--by pasting a couple paragraphs of your writing to the *I Write Like* website at http://iwl.me/
If you find yourself somewhat distressed at the results, here's an interesting critique of the results:
Apparently, *I Write Like* has about a 47% reliability.
Several famous writers are tagged as writing like Dan Brown...which may be okay, but I doubt few of them made as much money.
I've entered my stuff several times and my writing is most often tagged as like H.P. Lovecraft, whose work is a precursor to the modern horror genre. His critical reputation is somewhat improved of late, but his prose is generally considered to be somehow...excessive.
But I must point out, as my fervent narcissism requires, my last entry was said to be *like* James Joyce--and he is one writer who's writing turns out to be most like...James Joyce. I find this comforting, somehow.
