Thanks for the comment, CG. You’re absolutely right. Reading what you have written aloud pulls other senses into play and is very helpful to the reviewing process.

Thank you, Steve.
I have noticed that I often read what should be there rather than what is on the page.
Reading aloud is also good for me to get a real feel on the rhythm of the work.
Peace and wonder,
CG
