So, I realized something. I've always complained about editing, right. I think I have to or three threads just shitting on it. However, I'm editing my story, but I'm enjoying it. Like, it's freaking amazing. Like, I see my creative process coming through especially when the grammar isn't all too garbage.
Then I finish editing, put it into grammarly, carve out any shit it picks up, repeat the process one more time and its done. Then I give it to someone I know and they immediately pick up on two spelling errors in the same paragraph. Not only did I pre-read it 2-3 different times, and put it through a program twice that's designed to pick up on those things, but there's still drastic errors.
That's when I came to a realization. I don't hate editing. I hate it when I edit for four whole freaking hours only for it to end up as a mess, anyways. So, to avoid that in the future, I want to know if anyone knows any good text-to-speech programs. It probably won't pick up everything but it'll definitely help me pick up strange sentences and misspellings.
