Ernest Hemingway, the author of classics like The Sun Also Rises <\/em>and The Old Man and the Sea<\/em>, is famous for\nhis terse and direct writing style. But as influential and compelling the\nstoryteller he was, his grammar wasn\u2019t always on par.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it came to present participles, Hemingway\nloved to leave his e\u2019s, as with \u201clove<\/em>ing\u201d\nand \u201cmove<\/em>ing.\u201d His excuse to editors?\n\u201cWell, that\u2019s what you\u2019re hired to correct!\u201d Not that grammatical errors kept\nhim from becoming one of the greats, but writing as well as he did certainly\nwasn\u2019t easy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWriting is something that you can never do as\nwell as it can be done. It is a perpetual challenge and it is more difficult\nthan anything else that I have ever done\u200a–\u200aso I do it. And it makes me happy\nwhen I do it well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If only Hemingway had been given access to\nsome of the modern online editing tools available today, he may have had an\neasier time pulling together one of history\u2019s greatest oeuvres of fiction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately for us, free editing tools likeHemingway\nEditor<\/strong>, Grammarly<\/strong> and Headline Analyzer<\/strong> make it easy to not\nonly write with Hemingway\u2019s concision and directness but also write with\nflawless grammar and with an understanding of how well a piece will resonate\nwith our audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hemingway Editor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether or not Hemingway was a fan of editors, he understood the importance of the process: \u201cMost writers slough the most important part of their trade \u2013 editing their stuff.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t all have an actual editor or editorial team on hand to tell us if what we\u2019re writing is as good or as easy to read as it could be–but with Hemingway Editor<\/a>, you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
