Time to use your imagination, it’s time to imagine an app for your computer browser that can help you with writing your sentences. No matter if you’re a blogger, vlogger, writer, or even using Facebook, sometimes you wish your sentence choice was better. I get it, I’ve been there. But what if I told you that there’s actually an app that does all those things and more?
Really! It’s called word tune and it’s been my lifesaver.
My run-in with a content mill’s support
As you may remember from one of my previous posts, I mentioned how I was told that I couldn’t write in English too well and that it was pretty obvious, and how it stung a lot to be told that. Let me jump back to the begging of the content mill stuff and explain what happened exactly because really it’s those words that speak to the writer aspect of me.
A few years ago I was writing for a writing mill, a website that pays you to write articles for people. I blindly took a task that I was sure that I could do. While in the middle of writing my task, it was about something technical that I really had no clue about. I admit it, I fumbled around with words and terminology. It happens, but I never expected to get the response back that I did.
The person who wanted me to write the article told me that they were pretty certain that I didn’t have any concept of the English language. I immediately thought, about the quiz I took in the beginning and the fact that it was an English-speaking quiz, that for some reason I may get retested because of the comment.
I immediately contacted the support page on the site to make sure that they wouldn’t test me. Bad idea! The woman point-blank told me that it was pretty obvious why they came up with that conclusion because my writing is horrendous. Yep, I left and never looked back. Her attitude was uncalled for, and my writing isn’t that bad!
What if I had Word Tune?
I do wonder sometimes if I used something like Word Tune if it would have made my writing better or easier to understand. I’m not going back ever, writing for an actual audience and not being told what to write is a lot better.
Let’s get to explaining what Word Tune is shall we?
How to use word tune
With Word Tune, it will give you a new sentence suggestion for a sentence that you’ve selected. It can make your sentences longer, shorter, change the tone of the sentence and
For my example take my little passage about the fall and why I like it.
I love the fall, the trees are colorful, the apple cider and my favorite holiday happens in the fall. Do you know what holiday that is? Halloween, the time where I can get spooky home décor that I can use all year long. What’s there not to like about Halloween? Better yet what’s there not to like about fall?
I love what I wrote, but what if I wanted to make my paragraph more serious?
I enjoy autumn; the trees display vibrant colored foliage, the taverns serve hot apple cider, and my favorite holiday of the year occurs in autumn. Do you know the name of that holiday? It’s Halloween. It's when I can get spooky decorations that I can use all year long. It is difficult to say anything bad about Halloween. Even more to the point how can one dislike fall?
Too serious? How about casual?
In the fall I love the trees, the cider and Halloween. Halloween means being spooky year-round. Halloween is awesome. Better yet, fall is amazing. There’s nothing not to like.
See how cool that was? All I had to do was use WordTune and I had a whole new paragraph with just a few clicks of the mouse. One was a lot shorter and I had to delete an extra sentence to the second example. But it’s really that easy!
Who should be using WordTune?
I believe anyone who’s writing for an audience or even people writing something personal should use WordTune. The free version is just as useful as the premium, the free version has all of the sentence changer tools! Sometimes the sentence choice is weird, but There’s no reason why it shouldn’t be a staple for every toolbar!
Question of the Day: Do you actually think that you’d use WordTuner?
