I was astonished at how many errors I catch when I do that. Your brain will correct errors such as missing or repeated words, but you can't miss them when you hear them. I also found that listening instead of reading seemed to use a different part of my brain. I could consider how things flowed, see places where more or less detail was needed.<br /><br />And also, I think sometimes we just need to accept that we require someone else's help. Great fiction authors depend upon their editors to help them bring out the best in their work. They know they can't be objective about their own work, so they don't expect that of themselves. We're programmed to beat ourselves up when we are mistakes, but always remember that to err is human!!Laurahttp://www.lauragetscrafty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3440603490259597083.post-19333607830938924302012-08-08T09:07:30.009-04:002012-08-08T09:07:30.009-04:00As I used to say "An error is an investment i...As I used to say "An error is an investment in the future".
