Reading aloud is essential, or at least reading "aloud" in your head, if anyone else is around and unwilling to listen hehe. Especially with dialogue. You can SO use your acting smarts for this! Writers ARE actors, really--they have to know and BE their characters in order to write them properly. As a peer editor, I find the most effective technique [and an easy way out for the editor haha] is to pick a jumbled sentence and have the writer read it aloud. Now I'm speaking to the choir XP.

I love that you have somebody to read to ...Awesome! I love that you have somebody to read to who can be a sounding board. That's seriously priceless. <br /><br />I read aloud to myself late at night, but it's more like muttering. Still, it does help to see where I stumble over accidental alliteration (like that). :)Katrina L. Lantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06871272394922775923noreply@blogger.com
