I write most of my blog posts using Sublime text directly into html code.

There's no spellchecker, it's annoying wrapping paragraphs in <p> tags, but my quality of writing is 10x better.

Something about my weird coder brain is way more comfortable doing my writing as code. I can also tell when a piece of writing is good, because the code looks "nice", the same as if you write a nice elegant function. It's weird to describe but I swear by it.

I tried writing using Google Docs, but my writing ended up being bloated and waffly, and the overall blog post was pretty meh.

Notice that you only need to open the p tag, no need to close it. In HTML5, many tags are implicitly closed. This is very useful for lists and tables (no need to close i, tr, td). I actually prefer to write modern html directly by hand than to go trough the markdown filter du jour.

But why don't you activate a spell checker for your text editor?
