#WritersCoffeeClub Do you read your drafts aloud? How does it help?
Yes, both me and my computer. It finds typos, awkward rhythm, autocorrects that I didn't know autocorrected, missing words, missing periods (I'm like, what kind of sentence is that?), extra spaces (what the hell is that pause?), unintended rhyming, repeated words, and boring stretches.
Plus, I let the computer read for any Beta reading I'm doing. I pay more attention to plot and character rather than red-pencil editing.
