My results:
Eh. I wouldn't mind winning the Nobel Prize in Literature, but I don't hate women or gay people, and I can metabolize iron. Just not on Tuesdays.

Your link isn't working for me. It takes me to your photo bucket account instead of the quiz. :)
ReplyDeleteHere is the link to the actual quiz = http://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2012/08/american-writers-thesaurus-quiz/
ReplyDeleteAnd apparently I am Toni Morrison.
Sorry, but the link's not working and I can't find the quiz myself over at the blog. I'll check back later. ;o)
ReplyDeleteEr, the link just goes to the picture. Here's the correct URL: http://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2012/08/american-writers-thesaurus-quiz/
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm Toni Morrison...though I wonder who I would be if allowed to choose my own words for the questions. There were a few in the mix that wouldn't have been my first pick.
ReplyDeleteApparently, I "chose esoteric and technical words that would drive a reader run straight to a dictionary." I am therefore Vladimir Nabokov, and should focus on academic and scientific writing. Which probably shouldn't surprise me, given that I am trained as a scientist. Still, it seems a good ft for someone who prefers reading and writing science fiction. :P
ReplyDeleteI got the Toni Morrison answer, but I'll stick with the auxiliary authors listed like Mark Twain and Harper Lee.
ReplyDeleteI got Hemingway, but couldn't help thinking the whole time, "I am boring!" Or should that be insipid or maybe bromidic?
ReplyDeleteI'm with B E! I got Toni Morrison but have no idea who she is - at least I've read Mark Twain & Harper Lee. Apparently if I was a writer I'd write in the vernacular, hum... I must google this author and see if this is a good thing or not.
