READ ALOUD FUNCTION ON MS WORD
The problem with an author editing their own work is that they become blind to the errors it contains. In a previous post, I detailed some of the strategies I use to overcome this.
However, not only does an author become blind to the errors in their work, but they also become deaf to it as well. I didn't really appreciate this until I started using the Read Aloud function on Word to check my writing. It was unbelievable just how many misplaced or missing commas I found. Listening to someone else's voice also enabled me to tighten up some of the sentence construction.
The Read Aloud function really has been an asset, and I wish I'd discovered it sooner.
