making it real
Thanks!
I'm going to ask some deaf friends of mine to look at my rough drafts and comment on it. 
I've had other test readers (hearing) review it, too.
I have lived with 2 deaf roommates, one oral signing deaf, one VERY ASL deaf, and some other hearing girls, back when I was single.
I've taken college ASL 1 and 2, Deaf Culture class, and spent time associating and practicing sign with deaf adults and young single adults. Some were used to signing in tandem using their voices, and some were voice off. Others were hard of hearing. I moved several times, so my social circle needs an upgrade.
My classes were a long time ago. (I also speak Spanish as a second language not like a native, but I am fluent enough to have a decent conversation.) I'm going to see if I can find some ASL classes again to fit my work schedule, though. It's tougher because I'm not in college anymore.
Have you professionally published your work?
