I mean, but like we're talking about audiobooks, so...

As I'm reading, any time a character pops up, I'll underline their name.

"Very good," Dr. Snoot says. I didn't notice her behind me.

She feels like a grandmother — I don't have one, but

I've read about them in books. "Onto the next one."

One trick that I'll do, I'm trying to find if I have a place... Here.

Let's say there's a sentence that says “she whispered” at the end.

So I'll underline it while I'm preparing the book.

“I'll take a large cheese with extra pepperoni.”
