I love reading true writing advice! So many articles are written about it by people who are making up what they do not conventional wisdom like this. I remember reading one article that told writers they should re-read their work before they went to bed. All I could do was shake my head. The average writer would be up all night if they did that thinking of edits and new ideas. Such great advice here especially writing daily and as much as possible and reading out loud. I have to say I’m guilty of skipping this in a hurry when I’m writing here but as you say it’s the only way to catch yourself with sentence flow and also word repetition. Amazing how you can read to yourself and not catch it then read out loud and realize you’ve used the same word several sentences before.
