Write Quote by Jeffrey Robinson
““When people ask me how I write, I always answer, “Out loud.” It’s the single most important piece of advice I give young writers. I insist, unequivocally, the greatest works that have every been written were – every one of them – written out loud. Learn that trick, teach yourself to listen to what you’re writing, and your writing will improve immeasurably.””
