Well, what do you know. The first digital rewrite of the handwritten draft obliterated Daniel Defoe from the results. The subsequent tweaking and polishing washed my boat up on the ever familiar shore -- Ursula K. Le Guin. I guess this is the writing gait of my mind.

Typed my new draft into IWL and ran it through the analyzer. Well, this one is new... Not the part about Ursula K. Le Guin, no -- I almost always get Le Guin. But Daniel Defoe is truly unexpected. The power of longhand drafting 😅

These polls are the quickest way to live through all possible emotions at once. They always surprise me. Within just a day, I went from being disheartened to being grateful. It's sobering to know your actions change very little, but it's also liberating. Thank you to those who tried IWL. Thank you so much to everyone who voted and reposted. I feel like I see things more clearly now. Now I just have to last through six more days of this enlightening experience 😅.

I've never used this dark teal theme before, btw, but somehow when this spring came it started to feel perfect for the eyes.

Here's another tool in I Write Like. It shows you how easy it is to read your text. It also calculates the estimated reading time.

I always use the Analyze tool on the finished draft. Mostly because it's fun, but also because I track changes in my writing style this way.

One of my favorite tools in I Write Like is Read Aloud.
I need this tool the way singers need those in-ear monitors. You have to hear your own voice. You can't get this type of feedback unless you have a special tool. It's like getting an extra sensor that helps you shape your work.
