Word Clouds From Heaven, Hell, And New Jersey... Wait A Minute, New Jersey Is Hell

I've been playing around with text over at Word It Out. Inserting some of the text from your work will create word clouds. If you haven't seen them yet, check out what Norma did with a word cloud over at Sam's Story, or with some of her writing at Windchaser's Journey. The links will take you right to the specific blogs themselves. And we also did word clouds over at our joint blog Basking In The Afterglow, which, of course, resulted in rather risque word clouds. What can I say? Our alter egos get frisky from time to time.

Today I've got several word clouds from Heaven & Hell, and I'll just say that one of them contains the essence of the Very Bad Thing. I'll leave it to you to figure out which one. Have fun!

    I love these! You used some good text samples to make them.

    Is there a prize for guessing which one is the Very Bad Thing?

    I see lots of very bad things in your clouds and I guess I was supposed to look for the Very Bad Thing with caps. I see a Very Bad Thing in lower case. Hmmmmm....

    @Eve: if it's one of the three I'm thinking of, you're onto something...

    @Norma: Insider information!

    I'm not a detective or anything, but I'm pretty sure the very bad thing has something do with an explosion??? I know, I know, you're not telling!!!!

    I am very much looking forward to the release of Heaven & Hell. By the title, I have to agree with you. New Jersey is hell. There used to be a site, www.newjerseysucks.com, but it was taken down.
