Who do I write like? Poe? Gibson? Clarke .... well, yes....

Sunday morning stuff, done in between breakfast, catboxes, shower, coffee, and more coffee ... the "Who do I Write Like Question" is asked from time to time, and so I went to the font this morning and discover that it depends, or maybe the truth is, it's kind of complicated....

Note -- if you have odd spacing here, please blame the folks at LJ and their interaction with others on the web...

Starting with an oldie --

That's my story "Russians in My Head" -- one of the stories you can read for free (donations acceptable!) at Splinter Universe -- http://splinteruniverse.com/?page_id=260


Then there's:

That was my recent guest blog at Eating Authors: http://www.lawrencemschoen.com/plugs/eating-authors-steve-miller/


Then I see I write like Sir Arthur ...

Which, oddly enough, was Timerags II -- my book of poems -- which is available as an ebook: http://www.pinbeambooks.com/ebooks-you-want-to-read/steve-miller/ Perhaps the poem Catkiller was the significant weight in this reading ....

Oh, and also?

Which was the reading for the stories making up Chariot to The Stars, a small collection of mine -- http://www.pinbeambooks.com/ebooks-you-want-to-read/steve-miller/

And so that's the story -- William Gibson to Poe -- I run the gamut. Enjoy!

Hmmm, My future dystopic work reads like Arthur Clarke.

My poetry gives me William Shakespeare.

My Stream of Consciousness gives me Dan Brown.

My Fantasy is like Ursuls K le Guin.

My Mystery gives Cory Doctrow.

The bad fanfic (though I didn't realize it at the time), that I wrote and submitted to a contest back in 1988 comes back like William Gibson.

Papers I wrote over a decade ago for school come back as David Foster Wallace, Stephen King, Arthur Clarke, and my BIG paper I wrote (on Communication in Text-Based virtual Reality) comes through as H.P. Lovecraft. :)
