Hemingway recommended using fewer words or cutting this sentence in two:<\/p>\n<div class=\"excerptbox\" style=\"border:1px solid black;\">In a story, clutter \u2013 too many words \u2013 can mask the great quotes, the stunning twists of phrase and the dynamic anecdotes \u2014 just as the dull rock can mask the opal.<\/div>\n<p>Hell, yeah, Hemingway! I\u2019m a passionate dasher from way back, but even I have to admit that three dashes in one sentence is not dashing.<\/p>\n<p>Hemingway also flagged this instance of the passive voice:<\/p>\n<div class=\"excerptbox\" style=\"border:1px solid black;\">Think about how opals are made.<\/div>\n<p>Good point! But Hemingway suggested fixing it by writing, \u201cThink about how [Someone] made opals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hell, no, Hemingway! But now that you mention it, I am willing to activate the passive with: \u201cThink about how opals form.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25355\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25355\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"25355\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wyliecomm.com\/2021\/01\/measure-readability-with-the-hemingway-readability-app\/what-would-hemingway-do-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.wyliecomm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/what-would-hemingway-do.png\" data-orig-size=\"500,293\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"what-would-hemingway-do\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gamify readability&lt;\/strong&gt; Make your message easier to read by finding simpler words, cutting long sentences and otherwise improving your writing style with the Hemingway app.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.wyliecomm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/what-would-hemingway-do-300x176.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.wyliecomm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/what-would-hemingway-do.png\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.wyliecomm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/what-would-hemingway-do.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"293\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25355 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wyliecomm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/what-would-hemingway-do.png 500w, https:\/\/www.wyliecomm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/what-would-hemingway-do-300x176.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 500\/293;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"25355\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wyliecomm.com\/2021\/01\/measure-readability-with-the-hemingway-readability-app\/what-would-hemingway-do-3\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.wyliecomm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/what-would-hemingway-do.png\" data-orig-size=\"500,293\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"what-would-hemingway-do\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gamify readability&lt;\/strong&gt; Make your message easier to read by finding simpler words, cutting long sentences and otherwise improving your writing style with the Hemingway app.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.wyliecomm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/what-would-hemingway-do-300x176.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.wyliecomm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/what-would-hemingway-do.png\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wyliecomm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/what-would-hemingway-do.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"293\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wyliecomm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/what-would-hemingway-do.png 500w, https:\/\/www.wyliecomm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/what-would-hemingway-do-300x176.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-25355\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong>WWHD?<\/strong> The Hemingway App highlights passages that are hard to read and makes suggestions for improving them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Bottom line: My post weighed in at the fifth-grade level.
