Grammarly To The Rescue!
I must confess to writing and typing posts on my site without using a spell check or tool like Grammarly to make sure my writing is acceptable.
Reason being I thought my writing was good enough. However, I read Cassi of Troy's WA blog post recently...She mentioned using Grammarly from the start and how it has helped her write exceptional posts.
So I quickly followed suit and signed up to the free version of Grammarly. And was pleasantly surprised to see indication of where my posts were headed.
For example, Grammarly says whether you are reaching your writing goals. Whether you are clear and engaging enough.
So far, I have written 2 posts with Grammarly and have been averaging 1200 worrds per post in record time. This tool almost pushes you to write content! Before this I had been stagnant for 6 months because life hit!
Thank you Cassi, and thank you Grammarly.
Hopefully, one day I can see myself getting the Premium version of this amazing tool.
Don't you just love technology? It makes life a whole lot easier, don't you think?
Let me know your thoughts on this. I would love to hear from you!

Agree; Grammarly is a great tool to have handy.
I like that you can set your writing goals and style to suit the target audience.
But of course, it cannot replace a human editor. I do overlook some of the suggestions to suit what I want.
YEs, Grammarly is a great tool. It certainly helps writing clear and engaging content. To get feedback like that before publishing is great.
Yes, all of the tools certainly make this faster.
Thanks for sharing..

I hope so many people see your post and learn from it!
While all of us have our grammar weaknesses, it's especially important for people who are not native English speakers, who learned English from someone else who wasn't a native speaker. I've seen them write content which sounds perfectly constructed to their ear, but in reality doesn't sound quite right to someone who was born in an English speaking country. The result is shorter time on page and a lower conversion rate.
Kudos for you to share your story!
