Ever wonder if your favorite authors have influenced the way you write? I often wonder how much I have picked up from Asimov, Bradbury, Lovecraft, etc. It seems, more than I ever imagined, that my favorite author in the world has had a profound impact on me, coloring the way I write, not just everyday, but even the more "formal" scientific papers I composed while obtaining my degrees.
Go here and you will find out for yourself. It is fun, free, and, much to my shock, handed me the greatest compliment I could have received about my writing style. I typed in a few paragraphs from a paper I wrote years ago for my criminal justice senior seminar titled, "Theories of Law Formation: Correlation with Criminological Theories", and go here to see my "badge".
Wow! I know this is just some silly computer gimmick, but it certainly made my day. To be able to extrapolate from my scholarly writings a similarity to this author's writings is an amazing thing.
So try it! You could be amazed.
Touch of Grey will, well, touch upon the rainbow that is life. Good music, good times, and good friends combine to make all the splendid colors. Touch of Grey will celebrate this beautiful rainbow.

Okay, I took the "test" and it says I write like Dan Brown, you know the DaVinci Code guy. Wow, I even impressed myself.
It said I write like Stephen King! I've never even read a Stephen King book; I do not care for the genre.
Isn' that interesting?
I'm not sure who I was hoping for, but Stephen King never crossed my mind.
I can't say I've ever read Dan Brown, Ferret, but it must be a compliment to you.
Edith Ann, I have TONS of Stephen King books, I was once a rabid reader of his. But one can read only so many stories that take place in Bangor, Maine, before that familiarity breeds contempt, so to speak. But still, I do love the way he writes, and always have. What a fine pat on the back for you, too! No wonder I like y'alls writing style so much. We are a pretty talented bunch, we are!
Forgot to mention, Sugar, that Edgar Allan Poe is a distant relative to me, so welcome to the family.
Billy the Kidd (Willam Bonney) also is a relative. Maybe now, we can understand why I am the person I am, huh? Mean, with creative juices and fearlessness to boot.
I tried two of my archived blog stories as examples. First one came back as Stephen King, the next, someone unfamiliar to me.....Stephen King? redruM, & Heeeere's Johnny...........
