Not exactly the same, but it slows my brain down, allows me to hear every word. When the kids see me, reinforces the notion that I really am nuts. It's win/win.jdsanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04658357606303732115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-60200992972541904372011-01-25T20:20:16.226-08:002011-01-25T20:20:16.226-08:00Good for you!

They said to print the manuscript and read it through like a regular book. Mark things along the way, then revise from those notes. For me it really helped.
