WRITING
http://www.hemingwayapp.com/
I haven't seen this posted anywhere, and I'd like to bring it to the thread's attention. Hemingway is a lightweight editing tool designed to pick out long, unwieldy sentences. I like it, even though it tends to tear actual Hemingway apart.
It's basically a roided out version of Editminion, with a much simpler interface. I use it to point out problematic places in the manuscript itself. It helps me to pinpoint where sentences meander off into the distance and need to be reigned in. loving commas are going to be my crutch for life.  
Just used this and it's pretty handy. While you don't have to always trust its results, it's good for allowing you to make a conscious decision about whether you need to have that adjective there, or use passive voice here, or a long sentence there.
Also according to another TDer I shared it with on the Thunderdome IRC, it thinks "lilly" is an adjective, so it's not infallible! It is helpful though and I got some edits for this week's submission out of it.
