 Re: Who do you write like?
It wouldn't do so consciously, however, in most cases different characters have different styles of speech(or "register") ; A puerile character should have a puerile manner of speech just like an academic should have a wise manner of speech. I wonder if that has any effect on the scores, because not all characters speak the same.

 Re: Who do you write like?
I suppose it might end up "registering" characters (not only for speech but i think also for actions) and i suppose that certain writers had preferences for certain characters, if it could register i'm pretty sure it would have an effect.

 Re: Who do you write like?
Yeah, some characters are actually modeled upon the personality of the author. Such as "Joseph K" on Fanz Kafka's "The Trial", Franz Kafka is one of my favorite authors.

 Re: Who do you write like?

Well, maybe you should. I thought his fiction was quite witty and sophisticated.

I write like a retarded monkey having an existential crisis.

Retarded mankeys have no basic literacy skills, they can't write.

 Re: Who do you write like?
This, now, makes your writing awesome. You should post some of it in the Writing fragments thread if you haven't yet! (or somewhere in the Writing Board, also if you prefer it)

 Re: Who do you write like?
My writing's not that great actually. It may have been in the past, but it's been in gradual, yet steady decline for a while now  Basically gone to shit I feel. I used to write poems, but not anymore. I probably have them around somewhere, but I have an inkling that they are likely to be every so slightly cringeworthy.

 Re: Who do you write like?
Hmm, i don't want to be mean or anything by this, and i really do mean it: Honestly, i don't think writing skill can fecline or get worse, maybe get a bit "rusty" or at least seem like it, but i don't think it "declines". Anyway, i think it would be nice to see them (i think a writer always consider his works to be cringeworthy  ), but just take things at your rythm and preference  . Also, scarface, do you read some works of Chuck Palahniuk?

 Re: Who do you write like?
You really should read them, his works are very interesting and very idealistic/romanticistic in a way, aside from his unique style  .

 Re: Who do you write like?
Enough retarded monkeys in front of typewriters for a long enough period of time and they'll write the Twilight saga. This doesn't disprove your point.
