Compare My Docs

I love this website!

(That's not a screencapture of my GH entry - this is from the edits of My Christmas Wish, which comes out Dec 1st.)

I've been sending out my GH entry to just about anyone I can beg to read it a few trusted crit partners and beta readers, trying to find errors and weak points and anything that fresher eyes than mine can catch. I don't think I've ever sent the exact same "something" out to so many people before (5 now) at the same time read the exact same thing. Usually I'll send it to one person, or maybe two, but I'll make changes if I think they're needed as they come in. So what person two is reading and commenting on isn't the same thing as what person one read.

The feedback I've gotten has been fantastic, but that left me with several different documents to try to look at simultaneously as I thought about the edits. I've used Microsoft's "Compare Docs" feature before, but sometimes the interface there can seem a bit clunky.

For some reason this looks a lot cleaner to me. I like the way it handles just a single word different, and a whole sentence or paragraph. Comments inserted into the body are clear to read too.

Great software for anyone looking for a compare tool. It's still in beta, so I won't be surprised if there are a few strange things that pop up after I've used it a bit more, but so far it seems to do exactly what I need it to do - and it does it in an easy to read format.

It's time for me to get back to actual writing. Happy Friday!
