Description

Meet your new muse. Destroy writer's block forever. Escape the beaten path and discover what you *didn't know* you wanted to say.

〰 Bypass your ego and regain your creative spark
- When experiencing writer's block our own minds can be our worst enemy.
- We get caught in the mud, hung up, and mope around in endless ruts, seemingly cursed by an infinite loop of inaction.
- But sometimes we've just got to hit refresh, shuffle the deck, ruffle some feathers, evacuate our comfort zones, and sidestep our rituals and habits.
- When songwriters get stuck -- they switch to a different instrument
- WordPalette is a different instrument!

〰 Up to six sliding lanes of intelligently scrambled text
- Short poetic phrases are intuitively grouped and stair-cased across the slider lanes
- Each lane slides in both directions independently
- The phrases are loaded from Palettes (your collected text sources)

〰 Quickly switch between keyboards
- Simply tap the keyboard button, or swipe left to quickly switch between the slider lanes and the default iOS keyboard
- You're not just switching between keyboards but between creative states
- Many workflows are possible :
- Rapid-fire between the keyboards, leveraging the "found" inspiration of the sliders with your own creative reactions.
- Use the sliders to amass a collection of words that resonate with you, then switch to the default keyboard and weave them together.
- For cut-up method purists: use *only* the word sliders, hunting through the lanes for the perfect compliments and juxtapositions.

〰 Import your favorite text sources and convert them into Palettes.
- Palettes are converted sources of text used to populate the word sliders.
- Instantly paste copied text via the Add (+) button on the Palettes page, and convert.
- You can also import plain .txt files from iCloud Drive and other popular cloud services
- Alternatively, enable our Share extension to send text from other apps to be converted into Palettes.

〰 Mix and match your Palettes
- Activate and deactivate your collected Palettes to control what appears in the word sliders.
- The word slider keyboard will only pull phrases from currently activated Palettes.
- Get creative with your combinations! (i.e., text from an article on underwater birth, and an article on the predatory habits of sharks)

Palatable

Truly a creative writing tool of great worth, though it took me quite a while to get that. Oddly, though, I’ve not had that much use of the palette except that part of a word very often helps me to pull out a word or a phrase that will more precisely convey what I want to say.

As an editing facility, though, I’ve found it a joy to use; the ease with which I can paste in or dictate chunks of text and manipulate and polish them is such a pleasure.

I like the word count and being able to change font to Times Roman, though it would be a bonus if we could have the facility to display a word or phrase in italics or bold (this facility exists in the Momento diary app).

Well worth the 5 stars I’ve given to your app.

No more writer's block

I use this app to write lyrics and it's an amazing source of inspiration. So much better than staring at a blank screen. Recommended for anyone who needs to kick-start their writing, the word salad on the screen triggers all sorts of subconscious connections and makes the writing process much faster, as well as providing richer material

Love it

Great fun way to find new writing ideas, tapping to create sentences gave me so many great story plots, scenarios. Would love to see more variations in words and other little updates but other than that it’s amazing!
