Trying Hemmingway
Whether you are a reader or a writer on medium.
Its hard to escape the hint that we should be using the editing application Hemmingway.
Articles referencing this free tool are everywhere.
The knowledge implied is that you can write whatever you want, and you may have some success.
But to be good at writing, like everything else in life, we need to understand that the devil is in the detail.
Editing is the key to being successful.
Its also the key to improving the final draft that gets published for others to read.
To start with I was focused on the writing and hitting the publish button, so I would have at most 2 drafts.
That was it good, bad or indifferent it was getting published.
As a writer starting off that was neesecary to get me over the fear and to make sure I published.
As time has gone on I have focused more and more on the editing, which I hope shows in my writing.
But as much as I read about it, I stayed away from the Hemmingway app.
I did that because I wanted to focus on building my own editing skills.
