That’s right! Just once more. But one more what?
During a recent writers’ conference, I was talking with a literary agent. She required her clients to read aloud their manuscript before submitting it. Having the computer read it for you wasn’t enough.
I’m taking her advice. Despite multiple edits, running the manuscript through grammar and writing software, and hearing it read to me twice, I’m going to read all 118,120 words.
Do you have any guesses how that total will change? More? Less? Let me know what you think.
