I read some years back about how james joyce, while writing finnegans wake actually had a scribe, mainly because he was going blind, but it also helped with quality and poetry of his work, because the act of reading aloud makes your work sound and flow much better.
I was just wondering if any writers on the forum have consistently read their writings aloud and if it has helped in anyway with their style of writing?
I have noticed that usually if you find a sentence clumsy and are wondering why, if you read it allowed it helps identify where you are going wrong.
this ties in with a theory i once read, which explained that saying things allowed to yourself actually increases your chance of remembering it and understanding it. it was a theory put forward by julian jaynes.
