Read Aloud: A Fabulous Way To Edit, Now My Go-To Tool

I was intrigued when I read an article in the March 2017 RWR (Romance Writer's Report) by Patricia Watters, entitled Speak: A New Way To Edit. 

I cut the article out of the magazine then put in my towering to-read pile. I finally got to it in the waning months of summer 2018.

Why had I waited?  Aarrrgghhh.
