Recording: Listening: Editing

Today, we are going to be our own audience.



Some Thoughts From Peter Elbow On Reading Your Writing Out Loud To Edit:

"Hearing your own words out loud gives you the vicarious experience of being someone else." "Reading out loud brings the sense of audience back into your act of writing. This is a great source of power." from Writing Without Teachers

“Read it slowly, read it lovingly, pay attention to how it feels.”

“Try out some different ways of saying this till you find a version that feels good in your mouth and
sounds right in your ear.”

You may use an audio or video recording to hear your own writing and improve it.
