Hey genea-folks,
it's Saturday Night again,
time for more Genealogy Fun!
Your mission this week, should you decide to accept it, is to:
1) Find something that you have written that you are really proud of - the best of your work. Do an Edit > Copy of it.
2) Go to the website http://iwl.me/ and Paste your text into the waiting box.
3) Tell us which famous author you write like. Write it up in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog, or post it on Facebook. Insert the "badge of honor" in your blog if you can.
Here's mine:
I chose two pieces that typify my work:
1) Dear Randy: How Do You Handle Female Names? (posted 21 April 2017):
The description of H.P. Lovecraft is:
"Howard Phillips Lovecraft (August 20, 1890 – March 15, 1937) — known as H. P. Lovecraft — was an American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction, especially the subgenre known as weird fiction."
2) Is There Really an Ancestry.com "Big Tree?" (posted 9 March 2017):
The short description of Agatha Christie is:
"Dame Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie DBE (née Miller; 15 September 1890 – 12 January 1976) was a British crime writer of novels, short stories, and plays. She also wrote romances under the name Mary Westmacott, but she is best remembered for her 66 detective novels and more than 15 short story collections (especially those featuring Hercule Poirot or Miss Jane Marple), and her successful West End plays."
Who knew? Two really different writers, eh? Both fiction, though. Maybe I should choose something not so like an engineer? But everything is like technical writing with me, it seems.
