More Wordle Art

I seriously can't get enough of this stupid website. It's just so much fun! My writerly friends have made some cool art for their books, stories, whatever. Check them out.

Michelle McLean
Carolyn Kaufman
Kristal Shaff
and of course, the lovely Heather Dyer, who started this madness.

Wait, maybe it's just me who's gone mad. Either way, I made a couple more wordles. One is for a young adult paranormal novel, and the other is for a young adult dystopian science fiction novel. Since I don't have a synopsis for either one of these, I just used my query letter. I followed Kristal's advice, who said she typed in her MC's name a few extra times so it'd be bigger. Seriously, awesome.

MIND POWER

In a world where Thinkers control the population and The Rules are not meant to be broken, fifteen-year-old Vivian Schoenfeld does a spectacular job of shattering them to pieces.

Refusing to listen to The Tapes and walking in the park after dark with a boy land Vi in prison. The Good are usually separated from the Bad, but Vi finds herself sharing a cell with beautiful Bad boy, Jag Barque.

Because Jag and Vi are Free-Thinkers, they're banished to the Badlands, a place Vi has always feared, but secretly wants to go. Until she gets there. Secrets about her missing father and dead sister, combined with who—or what—she really is, lead her down a difficult road. Falling for Jag further complicates Vi's life as she faces her new role, one she's always despised—being In Control.

A dystopian science fiction novel for young adults, MIND POWER is complete at 89,000 words.
