We all know the feeling. Crafting an important document - an email to a new customer, a project proposal perhaps. Could be a newsletter or even this blog post…
You've read it. Spell-checked. Grammar-checked. Read it again. You've walked away. Come back. Read it again. Your mouse hovers over the "Send" or "Post" button, but something's holding you back.
That Split Second of Self-Doubt
You know the content's good, but the nagging doubts start creeping in.
"What if I look unprofessional?"
"What if I've missed something?"
The air feels oppressive, and somewhere in the distance, a dog howls…
It happened to me two weeks ago. I needed to get a project proposal to a customer - easy!
I plugged the requirements into The Brief Builders, answered their questions, topped them up when new information came in and I had a solid internal project plan plus the customer facing summary. I was on fire! I drafted the covering email and then screeched to a halt...
I passed it round the office for an outside view. "Here, can you check this over, see how it looks?"
Heads nodded and thumbs went up. "Hmm, I'd better give it another check through, just to make sure..."
Why We Freeze
We all need to send emails and create written work and it's not hard to produce good work with all the tools that we have available. We know our area of expertise, but still hesitate before hitting that button.
It's not a technical issue, it's an emotional problem. We want the confidence to trust that our writing is good enough to publish, pitch or present what we know we want to say.
If only we had a tool that could give us that. So I built Send-Ready Checker.
Confidence. Boosted.
Just paste your blog post, email, proposal or draft in and let it scan for clarity, tone and emotional friction. It doesn't rewrite anything and you won't get generic AI blurb, but it will spot and tell you about potential blocks.
Maybe the tone's a bit off or too dense.
Could be an awkward line or phrase.
It'll just give you a fair and unbiased opinion and you can take the suggestions or not.
Or it might just tell you it's strong work, ready to go.
Either way, you get that confidence to hit send and not worry later that you might have missed something.
Oh, and yes, I did run the first draft of this blog post through Send-Ready Checker.
I'd better go and let that dog in.
