In celebration of my finished CROSS MY HEART revision…
Thanks to Sarah Enni for mentioning Tagxedo in this post. I’ve used Wordle before and liked it fine, but after just a few minutes of playing, I became a Tagxedo convert. Quick and simple, this program lets users create artistic word clouds in a variety of fonts, shapes, and colors, then easily save them. Great for editing out crutch words, brainstorming titles, and making pretties. 🙂
Have you used Tagxedo before?

Love it! I’ve used Wordle before (for fun and to help me weed out overused words) but this is so much cooler.
I agree! There are a lot more options for creativity with Tagxedo.
Cute! I’ve also only used Wordle. I’ll have to keep this in mind!
I hope you have fun playing with Tagxedo, Jess. 🙂
I LOVE how the heart turned out! Glad you enjoyed Tagxedo as much as I did 😀 And those word combos have me excited about your book!!
Thanks, Sarah! And thanks again for sharing Tagxedo. 🙂
So fun! And congrats on finishing your revision. 🙂
Thanks so much, Ghenet!
Congrats on finishing revisions!!! *high fives* This is such a cool thing – even cooler than Wordle (don’t tell it I’m going to cheat LOL!!!)
Yes, definitely cooler than Wordle… Who would’ve thought?! 😉
That is very cool, I’ll definitely have to try it out. Congratulations on finishing your revision, I love the names of your characters.
Thank you, Alexa! (I kind of love their names too. :))
I’ve never used it (or heard of it until now), but I’m about to! I’m most curious to see which words pop up super huge (I think I have a pretty good idea what they’ll be 😉 )
Also, I LOVE the heart and it just makes me want to read your story all over again. Can’t wait to see what happens with it!
Alison, I would *love* to see a CM word cloud! You’ll have to email it to me when you make one.
So, I made a CM word cloud and imagine that – three words were larger than any other. Can you guess? I’ll email it to you. 🙂 Also, they didn’t have a football. 😦 So, I went with a shark. Still love it though. I will definitely do another if I ever finish my revision. :S Thanks for pointing me to this!
Aww… No football?! I kind of like the idea of a shark though. Such a random animal that has such a big impact on so many of CM’s characters. I can’t wait to see it!
Ooh, SO fun! Congrats on finishing your revision! 🙂
Thanks so much, Daisy!
Becky is WAY too big on there. 😉 But I love how Max is all big and right in the middle! I want to do one of these. Maybe I’ll post it on Friday.
I thought the same thing! Becky is too big! 🙂
😉
You definitely should, Jess. I’d love to see what yours looks like! (And yes… freaking Becky!)
