How many times have you hit “post,” “send,” “publish,” or “share,” only to regret it moments later? A confusing sentence is found, or an embarrassing typo is found. It’s sometimes easy to fix the error, but often, there are far-reaching repercussions.
Good news: There’s a simple solution. When you practice Hostwriting, you learn to speak your thoughts as they come to you, and write them down. The same principles can be applied to the publication process. Simply take a few moments to read your work aloud before sharing it.
This is advice is simple to say, but be warned: It can be hard to convince yourself to actually do this. You’ve been working on this for weeks, and you’re excited to finally hit publish. Haven’t you spent enough time editing this thing already? Besides, there’s a deadline.
Wrong. Professionalism and quality matter, and it’s easy to make sure you meet your own standards. The next time you are preparing to publish your work, read your work aloud before you publish it. You’ll be glad you did.
