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.

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