Bribed 7 yo with Skittles to read a new essay out loud, so I could see which sentences a reader might trip over. It would have been worth doing just for how funny it was. I never realized quite how much my essays sound like me.

Sounds like you just invented a review service. "Your idea was worth 4 ski (the currency used on reviews, which is actually just your 7 yo's attention span). Your bill is $500, thank you."

When you think do you have an internal monologue? Or is it amorphous and you select words when you need to?

Wanted: a button for backseat copyeditors, that goes to an 80 char field and a 1-5 stars 'overall' rating, that you could filter on.
