Wordle, where have you been all my life?!
While we were chatting about first drafts on Twitter, my pal Ruthie Knox turned me on to Wordle.net, where you can paste text and create really beautiful, customizable word clouds (to show you what words you've used most). She dared me to plug in my evil conjoined erotica writing twin's current work-in-progress, Sixteen Rue des Toits Rouges, aka The Parisien Man-Whore Story. Here's what resulted. Damn, look how huge my like is! And of course, there's cock, practically dead-center (and not all that big, as Ruthie didn't hesitate to point out). Got a WIP of your own? Plug it in and leave your URL in the comments.

Where do you get the URL inside the site? I don't see a place to grab one, and what shows up on my nav bar thingy is just a generic World "create" URL.
ReplyDelete(I'm not even sure I *want* to share, now that I've learned all I ever do is repeat my characters' names and the words "like," "back," and "hand(s).")
I found mine by going to the Wordle home page, finding my cloud in the recent public posts, and copying the address from my browser bar. Convoluted, I know. They ought to have a URL generator!
ReplyDeleteThey should, absolutely!
ReplyDeleteHere's mine (the whole first half of my WIP). I'm going to have to figure ot what's up with my use of the word "back."

Damn, I was really looking forward to seeing other people's word clouds. We'll have to start a Wordle Round Robin. Wordle Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteLOL. This is a WAY more interesting Wordle than the ones I use for clients. The book sounds like it's good! ;P
ReplyDeleteK—it'll be even better after I make you beta read it, baby!
