Someone on twitter (sorry I can't remember who!) pointed me to this cool word site--www.Wordle.com puts text into beautiful puzzles of your most common words. I used the first 8 pages of my current MS. I have to say, I find it pretty appropriate and it doesn't look like I'm using a ton of passive words.
I love it! The only challenge was figuring out how to get it to reappear here--no convenient "share" button. But, hey, I learned how to make a screen shot and convert it into a .jpg. :)
Go try it and report back!

Oh I love Wordle! It's a great one for finding your over-used words.
Thanks Talli! I'd never used it, but it sure is cool!
Wordle is def. the coolest thing ever. And if you haven't figured out - I can comment through my google acct. I just don't like how it doesn't lead back to my blog. Oh well. It does go to my google acct page with a link. Now I can comment again! Yay!
L - I'm so glad you can comment again! But you did RT for me a few times and commented through twitter, and that was fine!
I love Wordle! I had the same problem with getting it on my blog, but perseverence pays off. I actually did my entire WIP, and the results were somewhat frightening. Frightening, but helpful.
I could seriously play on that site all day.

I've done this with all of stories/WIPs. It is a really great excerise. It helps you see what the story is really about very fast. Have fun!
Wordle looks like so much fun! I'm looking forward to trying that!
