You can buy the
Hemingway app but it is also free to try at http://bit.ly/2OKlX6Y. It is a tool
for writers. It is very valuable for flash fiction and for writing for children
and young adults. It seeks out long sentences which you can break up into
shorter sentences. It can help you to drop complex vocabulary and reduce the use of
the passive voice. It declares war on adverbs. It also has a word count.
Writers ought to
use it in the same way as a cyclist uses stabilisers. Use the app by all means
but you must be able to do these things for yourself. One great writer who
never used the Hemingway App was Ernest Hemingway.
Remember to send your masterpiece of flash fiction to worthingflash@gmail.com (85 to 1000 words. So every word has to count.
