I loves me some Wordle and making pretty word clouds.
When I first started blogging, I created one using words from my blog.
I even did one for my Twitter background with words from one of my blog posts.
So I decided to do another Wordle from my blog and see what words I tend to use the most.
Wordle is also good to use for chapters and/or paragraphs from your novel project to view and get rid of redundant words. Like in the case with my blog, it seems that I like the word “really.” Really? Ha.
Also seems that I like others words like “Writing,” “Book,” “love,” and “Kindle” because they are highly used as well.
Go check it out and see what Wordle reveals about your blog and what you tend to talk about the most.
Being the queen of diversion and procrastination, I love playing with Wordle. They say it’s “beautiful word clouds.” I say word eye candy.
The most used words are the most prominent. A snap shot of words. Sort of cool to do with poems or scenes from novels.
Here’s my Wordle using text from last week’s posts of the Musings of a Novelista blog:
Anyway, check out Wordle and make your own word eye candy.
Wordle says on it's site:
"Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends. "
It's fun. I haven't tried it yet, but plan to asap....

I love Wordle! Like you, I use it with chapters to check for overused words. But it’s also fun just to look at the word clouds.
Those are REALLY awesome words :D hehehe I will have to try that out on my blog and see what word I over use. *cue in suspense music*
I just did this with a chunk of my WIP yesterday for fun! I love it. I’m not ready for revisions yet, but I needed a writing related break. It’s fun, pretty, and a GREAT tool for writers.
This sounds like fun! I’ve seen your Twitter background and loved it. That’s so cool that ther’s more to it than just a picture of words! Thanks for the link I’m off to check it out.
I love Wordle. So much fun! And it does really help find thsoe nasty tic words we use too much!
