November 19, 2020
Do you want to write like Ernest Hemmingway? You can. Navigate to this link. Click on edit and be guided to the promised land of a famous author. You remember Mr. Hemmingway, right? The cats? The drinking? The poster with the word “Endurance” in big type. Big like a despairing fish.
I wrote this passage using the Hemingway app:
The App Is a Fish
Coders in distress. Improve communication. Land the fish. The sun blazed across my insight. The result? Blindness. Will it swim away? Will I remain in the dark like the creatures of the sea.
I clicked the button, a clean, sharp edged button. Here’s my score:
Grade 1. Smart software is fine, like a sword thrust through a bull on a hot afternoon in Madrid. Does that hurt, Jake?
Nope.
