What gender is your writing?
The Gender Genie
Ran across this last night. Reminds me of that text analyzer that told you what famous author you wrote most similarly to. Except maybe a bit more reliable? It only counts the number of particular words used, so there's bound to be some not-quite-right analyzation. (For instance, "said" is one of the so-called masculine words. But as I often write in present-tense, "said" rarely shows up; it's always "says," which the analyzer doesn't pick up on.)
Still, it might just be coincidence, but I found it interesting that most of the time when I'm writing from a male character's perspective, it reads as being written by a male--or at least a happy, androgynous medium.Maybe I have a decent male voice, after all?
