Here is the tag cloud for the new book I started during my writing retreat back in April….enjoy :-). Perhaps you’ll get a hint of the theme from this…

I’ve never heard of a tag cloud before.
What’s the point of it?

The purpose of a tag cloud is to measure and visually display the frequency of a word’s occurrence in the selected text.
Basically from this cloud you should note that words in larger fonts occur more frequently in the sample text (this being the first 25% of the novel) ; words in smaller font occur less frequently.
It’s useful to pick out possible themes in the text.
Looking above, you’ll see the largest font used is on the words planet and ship. That means that I’m using those words a LOT in the novel…I wonder why?
