Which of these stories should I write?

I can't thank Katherine Sophia enough for introducing me to Wordle.net. It is the coolest thing. You just plug in a big chunk of text, and it selects the most commonly used words and arranges them into a pattern, with the most common words large, and the less common ones progressively smaller. It's fascinating.

So I made Wordles of seven of my current "stories-in-progress" ... which ones would you read?

    Okay, the first one and the last one intrigue me the most... though they all look cool. :D And I'm glad to see that "back" makes an appearance in yours too... hehe. XD LOL... isn't it fun tho? : D

      I know!! What is it about the word "back"?? I am not consciously aware of using that word in ANY of my stories, let alone enough to be a dominant part of my Wordles ...

      Well, now that I think of it, the first story is about a missionary's daughter who is kidnapped by Arapaho Indians and kept as a slave ... historically accurate and well-researched but cliche'. She even falls in love with the chief's son. :-P But anyway, she's always agonizing over whether she wants to go BACK to the white town when she's given the chance, so that kind of explains that. I don't know about the fourth one, though - it takes place in Ireland ...

      Thanks for popping over to say hello! :-)

      Love,
      Vicki
