A Sea Ducky
Being pressed for time in trying to get some major projects finished in the next 36-or-so hours, I’m going to forgo trying to think up some dazzlingly clever blog topic and just steal the topic of the week from the ACFW Loop.
Apparently there’s a burgeoning subculture on the web of sites where you can go, plug in some words (like your name), and the website will generate anagrams of those words. Why could this be something important for a writer? Well, they use anagrams on LOST all the time to hide clues. For example, the name of the funeral home in the 3rd season finale, Hoffs Drawler, is an anagram of Flash Forward, which was a major clue for that episode. So if you’re writing a story where you’re trying to hide clues, anagrams could be a great way of doing it.
Of course, it’s just a lot of fun to see what it comes up with for your name, as well. So here are some of my favorites.
For Kaye Dacus:
A Sea Ducky
Caused Yak
Cake Day Us
Sea Ya Duck
For Katherine Dacus:
Eradicate Hunks

Not surprisingly, “Caleb Abel” yields incredibly boring results. There are a whopping 5 unique letters between my first and last name.
But anyway, more to the point (or completely off the point, but the real reason I”m commenting): Might Stand-In Groom ever be a Kindle book? Any idea how that process works? I’ve become quite curious about the thing over the past few hours.
