| Kissing Dragons Wordle |
I compared my 73k of WIP vs. my 88k of KD in its current form. Appears that I use many of the same helper/beat words. In KD, you know there are lots of dragons (see, it says so with my big red dragon, and my big red dragons -- I also have green and blue dragons in case you were wondering, and one Baby, who can kick some serious ass :). Melissa's my main character, but since it's 1st POV, I wouldn't expect her to be too big; James, mr. cute boy, is her love interest, and takes up a nice chunk of screen (yay).
Interestingly, my main love interest in WIP does not. Also written in 1st (past compared to present for KD), Marcus's (MC) LI is Cynthea. Brianne, Sir, and Killian are Marcus's crewmates, however, and play pivotal roles in the story (both in terms of plot and character), so I'm not too worried (and I could attribute this to the fact that my MC is a boy and boy's don't think about girls as much as girls think about boys -- or as much in general :)... I could, but it would be a lie... Between all the asteroids and explosions and war, it's hard for anybody to find time to reminisce on the finer things in life.)
Ultimately, I'm not sure if there's anything too deep I can glean from these, but I sure do like looking at them (and wanting and knowing and something and heads and eyes).
Way cool! They look like a cross between a footprint and Mr. Peanut's body.
ReplyDeleteI've never wordled any of my work. This is really awesome! Is there a reason one is black and white and the other is color?
ReplyDeleteAnita, wordle allows for random creations (using user-supplied templates, I believe), and though a direct apples to apples comparison would likely be more useful, I'm a sucker for variety :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool Bane. Sounds like you are hard at work! I'm heading out on a research trip on Wednesday. Wish me luck! I couldn't be more excited!
ReplyDeleteI rewrote an entire novel from 3rd person to 1st, and it's really strange/cool to see what a difference it makes in Wordle.
ReplyDeleteI wrote an MS Word script that does something similar to Wordle. It iterates through my WIP and yanks out weasel words. My worst habits are "just" and "then."
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wonder if Wordles is secretly logging and stealing all our novels. I used it once but it creeped me out thinking I just logged my book into their database.
Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't after you! ;)
I know, here come the clowns, eh.
