I spent multiple hours this past weekend reading aloud.
Call it practice.
Call it production.
Whatever it is, it was me attempting to create something from a skill that has never really been in my wheelhouse: reading aloud.
Like any new-ish or re-visited skill that needs polishing, I have found that the best thing to do is just to do it… and be open to self-reflecting on the effort.
Asking yourself: How can I make this better?
Fighting the urge to doubt that progress is being made or to quit outright.
I felt both, but I persevered and gave myself an impromptu reading lesson, all while building the pieces of a project that I’m excited to move incrementally forward.
