An impressive share, I just given this onto a cougaelle who was doing a little analysis on this. And he in fact bought me breakfast because I found it for him.. smile. So let me reword that: Thnx for the treat! But yeah Thnkx for spending the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love reading more on this topic. If possible, as you become expertise, would you mind updating your blog with more details? It is highly helpful for me. Big thumb up for this blog post!

I was pleased with my results, especially because I tried it on one of my longer and more flowery paragraphs.
Looks like a handy tool. I wish the author of the last biography I read had used it.

I love this link…very helpful. Thanks you. Mostly I fell between ‘needs toning’ and ‘lean’. My flabby area is an area, where I already knew I needed help in. It was the ‘is, this, that, there’ wording…LOL.

What a fun link – thanks! Having been labeled “wordy” by my last critique partner, I was pleasantly surprised to see I’ve pared down enough to now be “fit & trim”.

Very cool link. Thanks so much for sharing. I ran a couple of scenes through and apparently I range from fit & trim to flabby. Definitely nice to see a different take on what I need to work on. But now I foresee another editing run in my future. Oh well, there’s always room for improvement, right 😉

That’s an interesting link, thanks for sharing!
I ran a couple of paragraphs through the test and my writing for today (first draft) either got “flabby” or “needs toning”. But a scene from the same novel on which my writing instructor commented “very fluent and concise” came out as “lean”. I guess he’ll be pleased.
