I read everything out loud. It's amazing how different it can sound.

I love it and I use it even to check my editing on other people's work.Good points 🙂

And you know, sometimes (like right now, actually, as I'm agonizing over a scene) it's hard for me to tell if it does affect the plot, because it's all woven together in my head and it's tough for me to be impartial.Guess that's where a good critique partner comes in!Thanks for commenting:)
