Trying it again with an excerpt from JACK & JILL: THE UNTOLD STORY, which I worked on a couple of years ago (and have been toying with recently), I got these results:
And, using a sample from my children's fiction (Middle Grade, ages 8-12):
Finally, using a sample from THE REFLECTING STONE, the first novel I worked on about four years ago....
I write like

I tried this same analysis with a few different pieces of my writing and found the results to be surprising. I haven't read any of the writers I supposedly write like.
