Words According to Me

So I have a new short story coming out soon, and I have been editing it until my eyeballs hurt. It got me thinking about websites that I could use to help pick up those little mistakes. So far I have found two sites that I liking. First one is called Scribens https://www.scribens.com Ok, so I like this one because it shows you repetitive words, simple grammar mistakes, overused commas and run-on sentences to name a few. I think it is a pretty good deal. However, you are still going to have to check before correcting, use common sense and you'll find it a good tool. Next is the well to known Grammarly https://app.grammarly.com Ok so I have just the free version and it is pretty good too. Not as good as Scribens I have found, but still good. The problem is you need to pay to get the better feedback. I have found that between this two sites I have limited my grammar issues greatly and hopefully improved my writing. Just so you guys know I am using a MacBook air for my...

I've only ever broken one bone which I did while jumping on a trampoline. 2. I am a dog person, mainly a St Bernard puppy with the name Sasha person. 3. I rarely wear make-up. I don't see a need for it in my everyday life. 4. I love to watch YouTube and play xbox, playstation, switch and computer games to re...

Originally, I started this Blog as a place to share my love my of writing and reading. As I pursued publishing avenues other writers, friends and people in the industry kept telling me what I should blog and how I should achieve optimal marketing potential. Back in 2012 (the height of my writing career) I blogged everything, not worrying about the content, in hopes of reaching marketing goals. Then in 2013 things slowed. I became depressed about not reaching as many people as I had thought I should. The same happened in 2014 to 2015. I just couldn’t understand how my blogging about my writing and sharing author interviews only counted for around 50 or hits.  It was ease to become disillusioned, thinking all this wonderful advice I had received was pointless. No one cared what I was writing. They didn’t care about if I blogged or not. Hell, even I had begun to hate writing. Also, during this time my husband was diagnosed with combat PTSD and depression, which didn’t help. Betwe...
