So this is a general question...statement?
ANYWAY.
One of the big troubles I have when writing is trying to read with a "voice" that is not my own. I feel like this is important to any basic critique and editing process and I really struggle with it. I usually can construct a narratives that I feel good about. However, I feel like at least 50% of that good feeling comes from knowing exactly what is going on in my story. I certainly try to think of other perspectives and potential confusions, although I'm no genius. So what are some questions I should be considering when thinking about this kind of review? Interesting character details? Names? Subtle use of repetition to help the reader retain important details?
The more i think about it the larger the issue seems to become. Thoughts?
