That's very bizarre, I should think, hearing someone else read your books aloud :-)Stroppy Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16560035800075465845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780182174577095197.post-53855726751979169882009-02-21T15:53:00.000+00:002009-02-21T15:53:00.000+00:00I wondering if reading your own work aloud counts?...I wondering if reading your own work aloud counts?
