I received two and kept one for my shelf, while sending the other to a second cousin of mine who was blind. They were just something my publisher had done, and I never even listened to the author copies they sent me when audiobooks used to be on CDs. Therefore, I never used to take them into consideration at all when writing my own stories. I don’t usually read my work out loud to myself either, except occasionally a bit of dialogue. Is this a consideration for you?Ĭhristina said: I don’t listen to audiobooks myself – I’m a very visual person and don’t like having things read out to me as I need to see the words. The sound and the rhythm are very important - but I don't have to think about how they will sound if someone else says them. I know some people put the words on the paper and then read them aloud or in their heads. Has this affected your writing process at all? I know when I have to compose something I hear the words in my head and then I put them on the paper. With the popularity of audiobooks and the increasing ease of obtaining them, I am seeing more comments and reviews from readers talking about books they listened to rather than read in print.
