Out of this Wordle!

Welcome to one of my obsessions: Wordle.

For whatever reason, http://www.wordle.net/ was blocked in China. So I was Wordle-deprived for a few months. Ah, just one more joy of being back home in the states. (But my #1 reason why I'm glad to be living back here? Can you say, clean porcelain toilets? Ha. Sort of.)

Now that I'm coming down from my Vision Boarding kick, I thought I better affirm my goals in another visual way. (Can you tell that my 2009 needs mucho spiritual reinforcement?) So here are some of my hopes for the next year. Tell me! Which Wordle do you like best?

Wordle A.



Wordle B.

Today I am so grateful for the guy who created Wordle and shares it freely with the world.

Word Obsessed

Dreamtime is such a beautiful thing, important when writing. Integral to living. And let's face it: a euphemism for procrastination.

Without dinking around, I would never have found Wordle. Nor would I have created a few new Wordles (doodles with words). Waste of time or moment of joy?

Wordle 1: My China Year Hopes

Wordle 2: readergirlz love

Wordle 3: Sisterhood

Join me, all you word obsessed ones! Create your own Wordles and show them to me. (It's always more fun when other people procrastinate with you.) And if you're a writer, tell your agent and editor we're working. Flexing our creativity. Really.

Crazy about Words!

Yes, it's true. I am obsessed with all things Moo.

You will be, too, once you check out http://www.moo.com/ for the adorable and eye-catching minute-sized business cards and stickers. So while I was trolling around Moo, I came across text-based designs.

Meet my new obsession: Wordle:

Type in your favorite quote or various words and the program automatically generates Word Art for you. Here's mine for North of Beautiful.

What's really amazing is that the program developer gives you full rights to use your creation on T-shirts (that you can sell, if you're so inclined)...or develop your own Moo card designs! How generous is that?

Moooooo... Will you Moo, too?
