Re-reading my novel for the 118th time, this time after having made a lot of changes suggested by my agent, I found something called Reading Layout, which sets up the pages side by side as if they were in a book (or ebook), with maybe 150 words a page.
Wow!
I had a whole new feeling, as if I were reading the novel as a book for the first time.
Little typos and sentence errors leaped out at me as they wouldn't have done on the regular view.
Anyone with Microsoft Word ought to try it when they reach their 118th rewrite and have pretty much memorized their whole book. This gives you a chance to see it differently.
