As I worked on the next chapter of Core Beliefs, out of curiosity I clicked the "read aloud" icon on my word processor.

I was shocked, as the automated female voice read my words, with inflection, affirming my punctuation was correct, and I smiled, contentedly as the rhythm of what I heard synced with how I had imagined the sound and feel of the work.

I remember a few friends asking if my books were in audio form. Nope, but it's on the to do list now.

If you have a "read aloud" function, you might want to try it.
