I think some of the people I've lived with, especially my parents, think I'm totally crazy, because I sound like I'm having conversations with myself behind my closed door. XD My mother asks me about it sometimes, in tones clearly indicating there is no excuse. I'm WRITING, people!!

Reading things out loud is hands down the best way to find out if something sounds natural or not, and it's great for when I've gotten distracted and need to get back into the flow.
