Wordle – A New Way To Market Your Writing

Late last week, I came across a website called Wordle. This website allows you to make word clouds out of any text you input into box on their website. I tried it out and I was very impressed. When you visit the website you go to the create section. When the page loads you have a text box to add your text or you can choose the second option which is to add a website URL. For my first attempt and to see what the fuss was all about, I decided to use the text from a new short story I was working on.

Who’s Your Writing Inspiration?

No matter what type of a writer you are, there is likely to be someone that has inspired you along the way. I love to write fantasy and inspirational pieces and have many people to thank for my love of this work. When I think of fantasy I think of books like The Never Ending Story which was one of my all time favourites. I loved the magic and the message that came across in the book. The little boy who was being told to stop believing in fantasy and to keep his feet on the ground. I loved how the author told of the “Nothing” which was tearing Fantasia apart. This “Nothing” was actually children no longer believing in magic and dreams.
