Alone and Aloud
As writers, it’s so easy to become immersed in our work. Often we know our own stories so well, which means that when we read our writing to check for errors, we miss spelling mistakes, a word here and there, a comma etc, because we know what it should read.
So try leaving your work alone for a few days and then return to it with ‘fresh eyes’ – and read it aloud. In reading your work aloud, with a few days’ break in between, you should find it easier to spot any mistakes.
