Daddy Cloud! 10/15/2009
![]() Let's just agree that Wordle is a lot of fun. This is the word cloud from my story collection. When I pasted in the full manuscript, character names were among the biggest words. That's probably not unusual, but I think my narrators and characters do use proper names a lot. I then excluded character names. What else can I learn from this? "Like," "looked," and "back" are in there a lot. Do I use enough similes to have "like" loom so large? "Little," "just," "room"--can't draw any connections there. Clearly "time" is much on my mind. Maybe the biggest takeaway is that, to judge by my word cloud, I write with the vocabulary of a second-grader. CommentsTed Corcoran 10/16/2009 7:46am
Your cloud is a mason jar, laying on its side, DAD a drop of honey on the lip, perhaps about to fall... perhaps not.
