Hello Everyone,

I don't know if you have heard of this app/website or not, but it has really helped me improve my writing ability. It is called The Heminway App.

You can find it at www.hemingwayapp.com.

I know that we're not writing for English class. But, I think that it is very important to continually improve and hone our craft for writing quality content.

I found this website a while back. I was recommended there from copyblogger.com. I feel like it is worth mentioning here.

Using this app helps me see where my writing is lacking. I tend to write long, and somewhat difficult to read sentences (I was writing for college professors up until I graduated a year ago). This is something that I find incredibly useful because it immediately helps me see how readable my post is going to be before I post it!

For example, I had a post that I posted today on guitaramble.com about the anatomy of the guitar. Using this app, I was able to modify several sentences that were difficult for others to read BEFORE I posted it.

I also try to read all of my posts out loud so that I can HEAR how they sound. I did this with college papers and I am now doing it with blog posts. If it doesn't sound good, then it needs to be re-written. If you're having a hard time following what you're saying, guess how your visitors are feeling?

I hope that you find this app useful in your writing! It is totally free to use and makes editing pretty easy.
