You don’t need tools to write, but they sure make it easier.

For the last three weeks, I’ve gone old-school. Hand-copying ads with pen and paper in a killer copywriting course. Going full retro. (more on that later)

But guess what? Pen and paper are tools too, right?

Let’s agree: tools are lifesavers (and they make you look cool).

Here are my top 3 writing tools right now:

1. DeepL (Write) (free/paid)

DeepL is my translation genie. Highlight some text, hit CMD+C+C, and BAM! Instant translation. DeepL Write is my grammar, word choice, and sentence structure wizard. Bye-bye Grammarly. See ya LanguageTool. So long, Hemingway App.

2. ChatGPT (free/paid)

Need ideas? No one around? ChatGPT is my brainstorming buddy. Perfect for quick back-and-forths. It’s like having a creative partner who never sleeps.

3. Copy Coach by Email Game Changers AI (paid)

This one’s a game-changer and my new obsession! It boosts:

- Clarity and flow

- Sentence length

- Engagement

- Tone and personality

- ...and a ton more!

At $69/month, it’s an investment. But heck, it’s worth every penny!

Using Copy Coach, DeepL Write, and ChatGPT together makes my writing fun and super effective. A perfect blend of tech and brainpower.

Keep writing, keep cool.

And if you’re a Christian… keep an eye out for the Whitsun Dove above your head… tomorrow on Pentecost: from Greek pentēkostē = "fiftieth" because it occurs 50 days after Easter.
