Concordance and Text Stats on Amazon

[Seth, The plan is simple--stay alive.]

Okay, so this feature is fairly new, and it only works on some books, and it is quite surprising. Concordance will show you what the 100 most common words are, and the sizes are how much they are used. Text stats show you readabilty,and other things such as how many words, characters and sentences there is. Check it out: You might be surprised in finding that a lot of books have more/less words than you think!

[[deleted user]]

I get it now!!! THANK YOU SETH!!

I can't believe it, there's 130,000 words in her story???? That's it?????

[Seth, The plan is simple--stay alive.]

thats what i thought

[Kenzie]

Really?! That book is SO long. Sheesh.

[Seth, The plan is simple--stay alive.]

its bcuz of her 1.5 spacing

[Kenzie]

Well, it SEEMS really long, anyway. Maybe it's just 'cause I spent most of the book mad at Stephenie for making Edward leave. *sigh*

[Seth, The plan is simple--stay alive.]

LOL

[Paige]

ditto ^^

[[deleted user]]

lolz so did I . . . Breaking Dawn is the longest of them all though. I wonder . . .

[Seth, The plan is simple--stay alive.]

they don't have it for BD

[[deleted user]]

Ah well. Still, it makes me wonder . . . But the most used words that was funny. Edward and Jacob were the big ones. XD

[Seth, The plan is simple--stay alive.]

yeah, that means how many times they were used. the bigger the moreused.

[[deleted user]]

that was funny, Bella wasn't even used a lot . . .

[Paige]

lolz

[Kenzie]

Well, I wouldn't think it would be. Written in first person and all there's not many times she needs to use it.

[Paige]

true,

[[deleted user]]

Yeah, but the other charries in the book call her Bella a lot.

[Paige]

not as much, she does a lot of "thinking"

[Kenzie]

Hmmm ... yeah. I just did a check on my book, and I've already used Daniel 45 times. LOL

[Kenzie]

That's my way of saying, my hypothesis was incorrect.

[Paige]

lolz

[Kenzie]

DARN! Torrente has got to me! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

Evil science teacher. *sticks out tongue*

[Paige]

[[deleted user]]

[Paige]

[[deleted user]]

yeeaaah me either. oooh btw, I don't have writers block any . . . more . . . CRAP!!! I just drew a blank agaaaiin!!!!

[Paige]

ookay....

[Kenzie]

Oh, I used the 'find' option on Microsoft Word (ctrl + F) and typed in Daniel. Then marked the box that said highlight all selected words or whatever, and it told me I had 45 selected words.

[[deleted user]]
