Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (pronounced /ˈvɒnɨɡət/; November 11, 1922 – April 11, 2007) was an American novelist who wrote works blending satire, black comedy, and science fiction, such as Slaughterhouse-Five (1969), Cat's Cradle (1963), and Breakfast of Champions (1973). He was known for his humanist beliefs as well as being honorary president of the American Humanist Association. He is widely considered one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century.[2]
I used three different samples, My short stories are apparently like Ian Fleming, my non-fiction is like Henry James, and my serial fiction is like Henry Harrison.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Sunshine - I love Sirens of Titan. One of your best works.
I write like Jack Vance (in my dreams)
I used three different samples, My short stories are apparently like Ian Fleming, my non-fiction is like Henry James, and my serial fiction is like Henry Harrison.
Well, my short motivation writings and seductive writings are like Dan Brown (The Davinci Code).
My comedy was slated to be like Steven King. That was a little weird..
That was fun!!!
3 samples 3 different results.
Kurt Vonnegut
Margaret Atwood
and
Douglas Adams.
Of the three I only like Douglas so I'll go with that.
I guess it really matters what writting sample you use.
harsh
I got Mark Twain and am very happy with that result. He is one of my five favorite writers so that makes sense.
I write my fiction like Dan Brown and my realities like Nobokov.
I got Dan Brown - just my luck!
Jacqueline Susann, WTF?
not really...Jack London
Oh Pat that is so perfect. You are all Jack London in your story telling.
