The newly nearly-memeified website IWL.me compares samples of your writing to the works of famous authors by analyzing sentence structure, word choice, and things like that.  It’s not always accurate,¹ but it’s nifty.

Anyways, I fed a bunch of short stories I’ve written into it, and a good 50% of the time it claims that I write like James Joyce! Not, of course, that I’m as brilliant as he — it’s probably just that we us a similar amount of semicolons. Hopefully at least I’m not as confusing as the Irish genius!

But maybe it’s all wrong.  After all, IWL.me is an initialism for “I Write Like . . . me.”

Now I gotta go read some Joyce.
