And before I married a writer, I used to read into a tape recorder, or at critique group.<br /><br />It's good stuff.The Happy Whiskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13438469476168485775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1897238162318789476.post-10173054108929805792011-06-09T12:32:41.310-04:002011-06-09T12:32:41.310-04:00Ack, sorry to hear that!

I had changed my character's name and missed a few spots where I need to change it! Ugh. I'm a huge believer in reading out loud too.

Which kind do you want? The kind where I wore the wrong sort of outfit to a national electronics show and my former colleagues are still talking about it? If I never hear about the green dress again, it'll be too soon. How about the time I was demonstrating ergonomic tools and told a customer he could screw all day with one?<br /><br />Feel better now?B.E.
