I'm thrilled for you, Jacque! I agree wholeheartedly about the value in having others read your work and offer feedback. Thanks for the new idea of listening to someone else read my work out loud! I started the practice of reading my work aloud to myself a while back, and have found it quite helpful, but this sounds like a game-changer!

Thank you! It's wonderful that you are reading your work aloud. It is a total game changer! I can see why it is a highly recommended practice. Hearing it through someone else's eyes, heart and voice is so moving. And so helpful.

Congratulations Jacque! I am so impressed that you have come so far in your writing. The editing with your partner sounds powerful; it vulnerable yes, but so worthwhile. Keep at it! You are almost at the finishing line. 👏
