"Read. Your. Shit. Out. Loud." Quothe the Wendigo.
OZ:
Thanks. I'll check out the 250 things.
Torvaldr:
Very sound advice. As a professional story teller nearly all my work is meant to be spoken out loud. And many of my stories were created without ever having been written down. Now I am having to work opposite of my normal routine, but I still stop and read what I have written out loud to see how it rolls off the tongue. If you can't speak it, re-write it.

Many of these items'll be "Well, duh!", yet still serve as a good reminder. Kind of like when you know you shifted your weight wrong, and your judo instructor tosses you anyway just to make sure you really understand exactly what you did wrong...

Just bought. Thanks for the rec. And yes to read. your. shit. out. loud. Too easily overlooked. Even better is to record it and listen to it. You'll groan so often that you'll toss the recorder out the window.

I just bought it. And since "500 Ways to Tell a Better Story" was only $2.99, I got that too. I'm such a soft sell. ;)
