I do like the practice of reading aloud what I write because it gives me another perspective. I think it is amazing that you rewrote your book a few times but it did prove to be the right route for you. Perseverance counts.

This is such wise advise. When I wrote for Laura Shovan's challenge, I chose the same time each day to write, and it did work, the poems (nearly always) found their way to me.) Thanks for the words from Peter Elbow, too. That's advice I urged for my students, and I do read my work aloud, but not consistently. Thanks for the helpful post!
