So there’s this new browser app that allows you to write/drop content into a text box and click “Edit” to determine if your writing is “bold and clear.”

It’s called the Hemingway Editor. It’s simple to use, but the questions remain: Does it work? And how does Hemingway actual stack up against his own app?

That’s what this episode is all about.

In this 5-minute episode of Rough Draft with Demian Farnworth, you’ll discover:

  • How many long sentences you should use in an article
  • What to do with dense, complicated sentences
  • The acceptable number of adverbs to use
  • The problem with purple prose
  • And more!
