She's a man, baby.

The Gender Genie is a thing where you plug in some text and it guesses the gender of the author based on an algorithm or what not.

So I plugged in some exerpts from my novel and some other recent pieces lying around. I got a straight row of "This Author Is Male".

Then, experimentally, I went and plugged in pieces from, like, five years ago. Strongly female.

Apparently I turned into a man around 2003. That's a little bit funny. I'm not sure what it means that as I've evolved as a writer that I've become a "male" writer. Huh. I also wonder if I'll loop around in a year or two and go back to being a "female" writer.

I wonder if there are any guys out there who have evolved into becoming "female" writers.

Still, it's fun.
