@laura_horowitz: We have to read it exactly as written… usually. Do the kids really say ‘NBD’ out loud?? #readers #author #romancebooks #bookish #voiceactor
as a reader when I see text talk I'm the book I convert it in my head while reading...except for lol 🤣

I’m conflicted on this. On one hand, if the author writes “NBD”, you should say “NBD”. On the other hand, if the author says “etc.”, you should obviously say the full word.

I would say no big deal because when I read NBD I say no big deal in my head, same goes for WTF, IDC etc

I feel like the only time to appropriately say ‘nbd’ over ‘no big deal’ is if the character is actually texting someone (or if it’s been previously established that they actually have the personality trait of saying text abbreviations out loud). That’s how I’d approach the project at least. 😅
