Wordle – Finding Themes in Writing
Sep, 2008 (2008-09-30 21:48)
I was browsing Alex Satin’s blog and ran across this interesting post on word themes. I found Wordle instantly addictive and started posting up bits of my stories, like this one, to see what sort of meta-themes pop out.
Wow did that turn out to be an insightful look into the content of my stories. I hope you find it as useful for your writing! Go try out a couple paragraphs now!
This chapter in Nightshroud turned out to be entirely about names, which gives me some thoughts for my first set of revisions : (

They seem to be the lastest craze – and my work computer won’t display the website for me! *cries*

You have to turn on java applets to use them. While I don’t recommend leaving those on as a habit (security concerns), you can turn them on in IE:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Security (tab) -> Custom Level (button) -> Scripts (way down) -> Scripting of Java Applets

Thanks, Wulfie
