Read your writing to other writers. Read it twice, pausing for a few seconds between each reading. You can do this in pairs, or in larger groups, up to four or five writers (if the pieces are shorter, two or three pages), each taking a turn to read their piece twice to the group. You want to read it twice so that your listeners have a chance to hear it; they should listen, for the purposes of this simple sharing, without taking notes.
The Benefits
Reading your writing out loud lets you share it as a kind of performance, something that is useful to do even for early drafts. Simply reading your work, without requesting or receiving any kind of feedback other than the attention of your listeners, lets you hear your own writing, and your own voice as you read it. Reading it twice gives you a chance to get used to the sound of your voice as it follows what you have written. Read each sentence as it is written, deliberately, without rushing through the text. You'll find, perhaps, as you read, passages which you can't follow, which don't sound like you, which are hard to complete as written. Or you might notice passages that make you sound choppy because too many sentences are short. You might notice that your listeners expressions change as you read, perhaps because you have a shift in logic of some kind.
Using this Activity to Revise
Note passages where you stopped and made changes to your text, or where you got lost in your own reading in some way. (You can mark these with a pencil or pen as you read.) Revisit these passages after everyone has read and you are working on your own; read them again out loud, but try variations on what you've written, again saying the changes out loud to yourself. This is not too different from the co-writing technique of pitching lines and phrases back and forth, often where one of the co-writers is at the keyboard making changes. Trying out variations and new sentences outloud, becomes a verbal rehearsal. When you reach something that you like, or sounds better, or makes more sense, then you can write it into your piece.
