[Stylist] Accessible tools

Wed Oct 2 01:03:05 UTC 2019

Brad,

Generally, writers just understand style and grammar. There’s not really a tool other than your own mind and the mind of fellow writers to know, notice and provide feedback on these things. I have my MFA in writing and know several published writers, and each of us has studied, formally and imformally, how to write and the process of writing. In addition to simply knowing what to look for in your writing when revising, it’s good to have a small, close-knit group of fellow writers who can help in the revision process, which includes style, format and grammar.

And BTW, adjectives are a good and necessary part of writing, but the best writing relies on strong nouns and verbs to “punch up” the writing, grin.

Hello List,

Looking for accessible tools equal to Hemingway, Grammarly, or ProWritingAid? Or, if there are scripts or setup to make them more accessible.

Do you use any tools for style, grammar, reduce passivity, reduce unnecessary adjectives, and make your writing  punchier.

Thanks.

Brad Dunsé
