In reply to Charlotte. Oh yes, I hadn't thought of that. I imagine it helps to fool yourself into thinking you're reading someone else's work. Great idea.

Thanks – some great tips. Another I find helpful is to change the font before editing – making your text look physically different also helps.

I know this one: “one of the hardest things about returning to a novel is seeing the story for what it really is. Not what I’ve imagined.”
