About This Quote

Mary Shelley, the author of Frankenstein, said of writing, “The habit of writing for my eye is good practice. It loosens the ligaments.” She was referencing how she would write down words and phrases as she thought them to be, so that she would be able to recall them later. She also suggested that one should read aloud, “to loosen the articulation, and to enable the instrument with which we speak to produce a more harmonious sound.”
