About ROCKET MAN: Word Lists

7/16/2014

1 Comment

 
I've been talking incessantly about my debut, ROCKET MAN (in stores now!), so I've been looking for new ways to convey what the reading experience will be. 

Today I'll let you experience it via word frequency. My writing program (Scrivener, which is pretty darn cool, y'all) has a 'word frequency' function designed, probably, to alert me when I overuse conjunctions and so forth. I've used it to create lists that will give you a little taste of ROCKET MAN. 12 is my favorite number, so here (in the order that Scrivener generated them) are 3 lists of 12 words used often, sometimes, and occasionally:

12 words I use about 120 times in ROCKET MAN:
  1. Herself
  2. Enough
  3. Room
  4. Oh
  5. Why
  6. That's
  7. Hand
  8. Around
  9. Put
  10. While
  11. Make
  12. Door

12 words I use about 60 times in ROCKET MAN:
  1. Night
  2. Blue
  3. Another
  4. Yes
  5. Coffee
  6. Funny
  7. Hey
  8. Shoulder
  9. Plan
  10. Kiss
  11. Finally
  12. Breath

12 words I use exactly 12 times in ROCKET MAN:
  1. Refused
  2. Freaking
  3. Forever
  4. Touching
  5. Bite
  6. Eventually
  7. Paused
  8. Mint
  9. Wet
  10. Erection
  11. Tension
  12. Lists

So, if you haven't read it, can you guess what my book's about? If you have, do you think these lists capture the flavor? Let me know in the comments!
