I'm just a very slow reader, have to read word by word. I'm 35, is there anything to fix that? I feel kinda bad about it, because I'm a professional writer.

- zonovar 6y agoI have the same problem and I trying to tackle it bit following a few tricks from speed readers. The main point as far as I can see is to stop your inner voice. You can play classical music while reading (with no lyrics) so that it drowns out your internal voice. Also saying random words to yourself, chew a gum, or counting is used to override your brain from reading back the words in your head. Hope this can help you.

- zonovar 6y agoI know! It's a struggle and it takes a very long time. I'm still practicing too...
