Wordle: Feeling the Flow

[davidlevine]

Everybody's doin' the Wordle! Here's a Wordle for my just-completed lesbian magic plumber story. It really does manage to capture the essence of the story in some way.

And will this intriguing story be available for reading at any point in the near future?

[davidlevine]

Well, first I have to incorporate the critique comments, then I start sending it out. There's no telling whether it will get bought or how many rejections it will receive first. Once it does get bought (I think this one will, but I've been wrong before) it could be anything from a few days to a couple years before it's actually published.

Or, to put it another way, I'll email you a copy.

[beaming] Thank you!

How did you cut/paste? Was there a linky way, or did you simply c/p?

[davidlevine]

I just opened the Word file, copied and pasted the text.

Well, that's a slight lie. The first time I did it the single largest word was "said." I didn't see any way to edit the list of "common words" so I removed all the "said"s from the manuscript, copied, and re-pasted.

No, I mean how did you link the finished product to your LJ? C/p the image?

[davidlevine]

Ah. Once you create the Wordle, there's some HTML text displayed below it that you just copy and paste into your LJ. That HTML brings in the thumbnail image from wordle.net and makes it a link to the bigger version.

You can see what I'm talking about at the bottom of this page:

Oh, and this is important: in order to enable all of the above you have to add the Wordle to the Gallery (you don't need to create a login or anything to do this, you can be Anonymous if you like).

OK--that's what I didn't do.
