My own writing is too familiar to my eyes. I can't see where it goes wrong. Even putting a piece down for a few weeks and coming back later, I can't find much.What do (you) do?
1 leave it 2 read more 3 come back
>>25131588Just ask AI unironically. Use it as a tool. Just never ever have it draft the words to use. State what your goals with the text are and ask it to analyze it that way. Also ask it to check for typos, punctuation, structure, etc.AI is a great editor. You can of course not listen to it if something you did was intentional
>>25131588Do you read your own work out loud? On top of that, put it through text-to-speech to hear a voice that isn't your own read it. I've also heard of people changing the font and such to break their visual familiarity with the work.It also helps to read things that are close in intent to what you're trying to do, but that's something you need to develop separately through familiarity rather than a line-by-line method of analysis. But it's nice to keep in your mind a thought of "how would X author do this?" or "how did X work accomplish this?" And more broadly than that, ask yourself if each line of your work serves the purpose that you're writing towards, i.e., does this word/object/line serve your ultimate purpose? is there excess that you can trim?
