Writing & Clouds

[talkstowolves]

Today's wordcount: 1505 (1113 usable)
Current project: "Child of Midnight"
Description: "At midnight, every stone was a poet." - Mia Nutick.
Reason for stopping: Some pieces rattled around and fell together in a way that will necessitate immediate revision, plus there was dinner.

This isn't the story I'm supposed to be working on! I'm supposed to be working on "Burier" and then I'm supposed to be researching for another story that's due very soon. However, this one leapt on me last night and I could not say no.



I also have a new Word Cloud to share with you, this one based on "When Death Dances," a Dia de los Muertos fairy tale I currently have sent out:

Beautiful!

I have yet to find a word-cloud maker that will run on my computer without downloading some new doodad, but I love seeing what other people come up with.

Plans for my community's Samhain ritual this year are taking shape around a Dia de los Muertos theme.

I liked playing with Wordle (http://www.wordle.net), but I'm frustrated that they don't have an easy way to save your designs privately. I ended up having to take a screencap of this one (and the other I made) just to save it to my computer. The only other choice seemed to be saving it to their gallery of designs.

I bet that will be a fantastic Samhain ritual. I love several of the conventions surrounding Dia de los Muertos.
