Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

AFK

the dreadful hours informs me that his writings come back as James Joyce.  Weird. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

Jack London! Swote! :D

ETA: Oh wait, he was an alleged plagiarist. :sad:

My BIP essay ("you're mostly blind") came back as Asimov, and the "Welcome to Prison" bit was Dan Brown.

I plugged in my "Half Asleep" post in OKM, and got Stephen King. Gonna repaste to see if it is random or accurate.

Half Asleep consistently got Stephen King.
Another post got James Joyce.

My lyrics got:
Bram Stoker (what?! lol)
James Joyce
Daniel Defoe
Bram Stoker (even though Lovecraft was the inspiration)


Eh, I'll accept it. 2/3 famous Irish writers suits me.

"Dan Brown" seems to be coming up a bit.  Either it's the catch all or he writes very zeitgeist.

I'd guess zeitgeist.
That or you write more similarly than you would like to admit.
Don't get me wrong, I like Dan Brown. I just wish he would do something other than repeatedly write the same book.

I'm happy with it.  Actually, I've read HPL's essays on literary criticism and I'm a fan of his thoughts on style, even if his actual work can be a bit dry.

Richter

His plots, pacing, and storytelling were great, but his wording is painful and plodding sometimes.

Yeah but could you imagine if he tried to take that desolate tone out of his narrative?  It'd make me giggle the whole time.

Sig:  True, but could you make it cleaner written but still keep that feel?
