Genesis Earth 1.0 word cloud
Hey, check this out! I used this site to create a word cloud for the rough draft of my novel, Genesis Earth. I did the same thing a while back for my other novel. Pretty interesting.
Which story is Genesis Earth?
I’m guessing Terra is the main character, since that word is biggest? Then again, I don’t see any other words that look like names at all…
Actually, Terra isn’t the main character–it’s written in 1st person, so you never really hear the main character’s name. Terra is the main female character, though, and there’s prettymuch just two characters in the whole novel. I sent them to a completely empty planet to explore it; I didn’t want to deal with half a dozen viewpoint characters and thirty or forty minor ones (like my first novel).
I’m so glad you posted about this. I used Wordle on my story about Simon and Nicholas. Then I did it with the short story I’m submitting to Leading Edge for my final.
Then, my wife did it with her Master’s thesis, and then we found the entire text of the Book of Mormon online and did it with that. A very interesting tool–it can show you some interesting things about what you’re writing or reading.
