Hello
Lately, I’ve been learning about writing (short stories). One of the book I read about the topic is Ray Bradbury’s Zen in the Art of Writing. Really good book, recommended for people who like to read, not only aspiring writers.
One of things he used as pool of ideas was a list of words that came to him. He used such list as inspiration and “provocation” to guide him into writing story. One of the words caught his attention, he connected it with another one and the idea for story came to him.
Bradbury’s list was my inspiration for my plugin: word cloud with words in different colors, orientations and sizes with one centered and others randomly distributed around. Plugin is used as code block with list of comma separated words (separator is configurable), with user configurable color pallete, word casing (as is, UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case). In case automatic size and spacing doen’t suit your list, you can configure min and max font size as word spacing.
Clicking on a word focuses it putting it in the center of canvas and redistributing other words.
Here’s gif of word cloud in action
I haven’t send it to approval (yet), so please try it by downloading release or using BRAT
git URL is:

(it seems like I cannot put URL in my post)
You can find detailed readme there also.
Feel free to try it, and share your thoughts and ideas.
