Rhythm

[cathschaffstump]

Update for those following the write-a-thon: My current goal is rewriting a chapter a week. Last night I breezed through a great deal of chapter 5. I have one more scene to add in tonight, and then I can move forward. That was faster than expected.

I'd like to talk about one more aspect of revision before I let that topic go, and that's rhythm. How many of you take the time to read your work aloud after you've completed the basic story? I think it's a very important step in making sure that your writing sounds good and that you don't have those evil sentences that begin and end with the same words. If you like the way words sound, I think it's almost indispensable.

How do you handle the flow of your sentences?
