Man, this hits home.
Reading stuff out loud really does expose weak spots you’d never notice on screen it’s almost brutal sometimes
I’ve noticed that the “read it out loud” trick really does expose weak spots you’d otherwise miss. I used to think a sentence sounded fine until I spoke it and realized it dragged or lost rhythm. That’s actually when I started looking for outside support, because polishing drafts alone sometimes makes you blind to flaws. I once tried royalwriter.co.uk and honestly, the feedback I got helped me see how tiny word changes could reshape the flow. It wasn’t about rewriting everything, just nudging the tone so it landed better. Now I’m more mindful of pacing when I edit, even in casual writing.
