Make up words with this cool naming tool
I was working on a story today when a writerruption occurred: My brother sent me photos of The Cutest Kid In the World, aka my niece. I got distracted and missed my deadline.
Not really. But don’t you love the word writerruption?
I made it myself, with the cool tool Wordoid. This site is designed to help you find a catchy name for your business by auto-creating new words. But you can also create words to use in your copy, as well.
Just plug in a word or word fragment, click a button, and get your Wordoids. Here are some of the results I got when I plugged in the words edit, coach, consult, rewrite and train:
- Editation
- Coachersecutive
- Coacherience
- Coachieving
- Consultatisting
- Consulties
- Consultimate
- Illustrain
- Importrained
- Supportrained
- Rewritering
- Rewriterant
- Rewriterian
- Traineer
How can you surprise and delight readers?
Neurologists call it “the pleasure of the text,” the reward readers get from figuring out figurative language. (It can be quite a reward: If your wordplay is funny enough, your readers’ brains even deliver a little dose of dopamine.)
Bring Ann in to present Master the Art of Storytelling, a business-storytelling workshop — to your team.
