Writing for the ear

· 31 minutes

What changes when your words will be heard instead of read. On sentence length, breath, repetition, and leaving the pauses in.

  1. The ear cannot re-read. Say the important thing twice, differently.
  2. Write sentences you can say in one breath.
  3. Silence is part of the script.
