There are poets who sing you to sleep and poets who ready you for war and I want to be both.

Hemingway is a writing checker that is absolutely brilliant.

checks all spellings for you

checks if you’re over-using adverbs

picks out over-complicated sentences

suggests replacements for over-complicated phrases

picks out the passive voice

tells you how readable your text is (Grades/College level/etc)

calculates reading time

USE IT. USE IT FOR YOUR FANFICS. USE IT FOR YOUR PAPERS. IT WILL SAVE. YOUR. LIFE.

Writing Prompt #249

A hand drawn map stretched across the four walls, but none of the locations were familiar to me. Also, two words written in smeared blue ink, one on the wall to my left, and one on the wall to my right.

Checklist

I look around the empty parking lot My grey car far from sight Preparing my mental checklist I’m going home safe tonight

No ponytail? (Check) My keys in my right hand My cellphone in my left Do I have that mace in my purse? (Check. Double check)

Just keep walking Look straight on ahead They won’t go after someone who looks scared But don’t be afraid to scream. Make sure you check your left, right and behind (Check. Triple check)

I hope my skirt isn’t too short I swear I’m almost there Take a look below the car Make sure no shadows are there (Check. Quadruple check)

Get your keys ready Open the door,get inside Lock the doors, turn on your lights Drive away from sight

Turn on the radio Make my way home tonight I have to admit That parking lot sure is creepy 11 o'clock at night
