Writing help

• A free app: Grammarly. A lot of us are not native English speakers and I am finding it a helpful app. It will underline spelling and grammar mistakes. Just remember that it is not always right -especially if you use complex sentence structures. Here is the link

• Remember The Most Dangerous Writing App. You set the time - 5 min - and start typing. Don’t stop!!! It will destroy what you wrote if you stop for more than 3 seconds - and backspace does not count as writing on the app. If you are prone to stopping and thinking - this app forces you to keep going. You can make corrections after the 5 minutes are over.

• A timer. Egg timer is a free tool you can use on your desktop to set a time. This is useful for our freewrites or if you want to work in blocks of time and then take a break. Here is the link

• I found this app through @emwalker. Use it regularly, and it will help you type faster and more accurately. [10 fast fingers](https://10fastfingers.com/typing-test/english
