What a good idea! And I agree it's hard sometimes to see the joy in writing, especially when you've hit a block or have a deadline. In for a Pound sounds a lovely read.

My personal fav is sending the doc to my Kindle and letting the voice-to-text feature read it to me. It reads *exactly* what's on the page--no skimming over mistakes.<br />Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08516493326566981116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9078064962090919088.post-17461176864739882772014-11-06T07:40:17.276-05:002014-11-06T07:40:17.276-05:00Hi Joselyn, thanks so much for sharing these helpf...Hi Joselyn, thanks so much for sharing these helpful tips.
