oh, to be a male writer
Bookblog has updated their Gender Genie to better reflect the differences between fiction, nonfiction and blog entries. For those not in the know, a report was published in Nature revealing a rather accurate algorithm that determined a writer's gender based on certain common words and their usage. More information is provided on the Genie page.
Anyway, according to the new and improved Gender Genie, I write like a girl. I sent my previous entry though the paces as a blog entry, fiction and nonfiction and scored the hat trick. Female every time. This entry, however, is considered masculine by the site. Go figure. So don't buy me that skirt quite yet.
