I demand a re-do!
Obviously a young Brit put this together. E.g., there was tea but no coffee as a drink, no choice to hang out with your own spouse on a Friday night, etc.
Perhaps this explains my result: You are… E.L. James, author of the bestselling erotic romance Fifty Shades of Grey.
Hahahahahaha!!!! Time to slap on the harness, Jim.
That is hysterical! I got Ernest Hemingway on a couple of different quizzes, even though I find his writing a tad too terse and studied.
Oh my God too funny
I got Ernest Hemingway. Fun way to start the day!
This was total fun! I got J.K. Rowling. Now if I can only achieve a tenth of her success.
Good one, Suzanne–thanks for playing!
I got J K Rowling too. I agree with James. No Coffee? No watching television on Friday night? A flawed quiz if ever there was one. But hey– At least I didn’t get EL James!
Could’ve been worse, you’re right. I thought everyone was going to get ERnest, so people may st have given very different answers to the prompts!
I got Sylvia Plath. Hmm…and I agree with Jim about no coffee being listed. So I just clicked on “Surprise Me” – Thanks for the fun, interesting quiz, Kathryn
Ooh, interesting one. Yes we need to protest the nada coffee option!
No coffee was a real bummer. I had to fudge a lot of my answers (apparently there’s no one quite like me). I got Paulo Coelho. Not sure that’s really a good fit, genre-wise, but as far as comparisons, I certainly can’t complain seeing my name next to his!
fI did too, but I had to fudge on about half of the answers because none fit
America must lodge a formal protest. No more stinkin’ tea. ???
Well, considering I answered my best to questions that had only a few good answers to choose from, I think I did alright? I got Norman Maclean. Not too bad… but a fun morning!
Yes it was like school cafeteria with a choice between mystery meat and burnt fries. Thanks for playing, Melanie!
This was a fun quiz. My results were J.K. Rowling. Now I just have to accomplish what she has done in her writing career. Not a big deal.
Give yourself time, it’ll come. Thanks, Sandy!
I didn’t care for the choice of answers. My first time through I got Norman Maclean with E.L. James on my second round. I’m just wondering what kind of a mashup novel those two combined could lead to. Perhaps we could guess at the title “A ______ Runs Through It”.
Hah! Thanks for playing, Catfriend. ?
J.K. Rowling was my result. Another good time-waster is the site I Write Like– https://iwl.me I quite often get Agatha Christie over there.
Ooh, I love finding new places to goof off. Thanks for the tip!
Hmmm, I got J.K. Rowling on both sites.
Paulo Coelho, author of The Alchemist, among many other soulful masterpieces. Sad to admit I now have to go look that writer up…bad writer no cookie
It’s good to have soul though, writing aside. ?
Chris,
I have to look him up, too. But I think it’s a mistake because whiskey was not a choice. I was so hoping for Hemingway!
Maybe I should broaden my reading?
Hate those multiple choice where there’s no “none of the above” or “fill in the blank” but I got Norman Maclean author of A River Runs Through It.
Yes it’s like being at a dinner party where the food is lousy.
I wasn’t crazy about the questions either, but I am a bit of a procrastinator, so I guess it fits. I got Norman Maclean too. I just hope I get published before I’m 73! 🙂
If procrastination counts, I should have gotten that result. Thanks for visiting, Rebecca!
Call me Papa, too~ despite picking water over everything else (& like y’all, NO coffee?!?)
🙂
I would have picked red wine but it turns my teeth red. Give me a Sauvignon Blanc any day! ?
I am: Sylvia Plath, author of The Bell Jar and the art of confessional poetry.
Anyone who says writing is easy clearly hasn’t ever tried to write anything of worth. You take your writing seriously because you know that it is the one true art that can express the plethora of human experience and suffering. You feel it is your duty to transcribe this expression.
J.K. Rowling. I was hoping for Hemingway. I see complaints about coffee not being included as an option. I was sad to see bourbon, or even rye whiskey missing from that question.
Rye whiskey? I’ve never had it but isn’t that what the cool cowboy-android orders in Westworld? Very macho choice! ?
E.L. James. At first I was assuredly perplexed. But, after reading the reasoning, eh, OK. Minus the part about needing to be famous and well read, I was cool with the results. That was fun. What else ya got?
