I am VERY interested in this newsletter/post. I think I’m likely doing things the hard way. Part of that is generational and has to do with technology. Part is that I am unschooled when it comes to writing (so I am unfamiliar with writer’s terminology, and methods.) And likely, the major part is I don’t even know what I don’t know.

But… my question for today, what is Hemingway?

I have heard folks refer to Hemingway before, but when I go to my App Store, there are 3 Hemingway products, each of which has only 1 review, and none of them look like an invaluable app.

Hey there!

Hemingway takes its name from the famous author's... shall we say, "terse" writing style?

No need to pay for an app if you're happy with using the website, https://hemingwayapp.com

It evaluates your writing and gives it a "reading grade" score. The lower the score, the easier your piece is to read, and, the hypothesis goes, the wider the audience you will reach and please.

It's up to you how many of its suggestions you follow, but it's an eye opener and no mistake!

Thanks, as always, for being here.
