I also think that reading through it is a type of editing, even if it doesn't involve red pens. When we read through our writing, we are seeing a bigger content picture and that helps with the plot pacing. <br />Happy writing, reading, and editing!Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8203719610395611719.post-7584979254275199672017-03-21T18:53:38.467-04:002017-03-21T18:53:38.467-04:00I would say it's definitely a good sign.

Sometimes, we need that.
