My agent advised me that my next novel submission had a few too many typos. (Yeah I really suck at proofing.)
So I am having my computer read it out aloud, the entire 80600 words.
That should keep me out of trouble while Dave decides which category of rejecting I have earned.

I'm predicting next week, just based on the dates that Q1 results came in over the past several years. Tomorrow would be super-awesome, though.

What software do you use to have your computer read aloud? This could be a useful thing for me as well!

I'm just curious whether it will get an HM or an R.
My Q2 is the one that will have me shredding my nails.
