What a laugh

July 19th, 2010

I pasted some of  ‘Rain‘ into a website that supposedly analyses your writing style and compares you to a famous writer.

The result was…

I write like
Charles Dickens

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

And tonight we finish with…

“We are returning to Grimlaw,” Emun closed his eyes and thought about his home, “that is where you can find me should you wish to. I will go and see Melech and relay to him all that has transpired here this day,” Emun turned and walked away.
As they made there way out of the Archive Narnock was waiting.
“I should like very much to feel the wind in my face one more time. If you would like a ride home I would gladly take you,” Narnock lowered himself to the ground.
“You can never have too many dragons as friends,” Emun climbed up onto Narnock’s back. “Stefry can you open a door to home?”
“I can do that,” as they climbed high into the artificial sky Stefry began to concentrate.
“You’ll have to hurry little fellow,” Narnock said as they burst through the cloud layer headed straight for the rocks above.
Stefry jumped to his feet crying out, “Ephaphta!” The rock ceiling peeled back to reveal the open skies of Meregith and the bright sun that shone upon the meadows.
“Ha ha,” Narnock laughed triumphantly as he circled around the mountain peaks of the Dragons Teeth.

Making Time

November 3rd, 2009

It can be a slow old process, writing and all of its associated peculiarities. Often we make excuses for not having enough time for writing when the truth is that we just give time to other things – like TV. If we really want to do anything at all then we will. It’s all about choices and following them through. We do it all the time. I had a friend once who never had money for anything but then took two expensive holidays and bought a new car, so he did have money just not for most things. I once stood in queue behind a young mother who had asked the cashier for a bottle of booze and some cigarettes before she pondered he remaining finances with a a hefty sigh before resigning to the fact that she could afford nappies for her infant after all. It’s all a matter of priorities – isn’t it?
