Beta Reader Request
Friday, May 5, 2006

Okay... so, it's finally been made clear to me that I should get a beta reader. So far, I've had negative experiences with beta-readers, which is partly my fault. Basically, with the beta reader's I've had (really, I think only two; I had one when I started over the hills and one a long, long time ago when I wrote more embarassing fanfic during high school), things go pretty much like this:

Me: my spelling sucks, sorry. Feel free to make any comment your heart desires, because honesty is good.
Beta: Sure
...days later...
Me: ... you are going to say something, right? Or at least correct the spelling...?

So, what is boils down to is that I'm fairly impatient. Sorry, world, it is a flaw of mine. I mean, I understand it takes time to edit. I occassionally edit papers for people who live on my floor and it can take hours, and I understand thar people tend to have these things called lives where they need to interact with people who are really there and not spent an unhealthy amount of time at the computer like I do (which is good, yay!), but after a day and a half or so I get antsy. I just do. Other than that, though, I think I'm fairly easy to work with, and I've be willing to return the favor for anyone who needs it. Actually, just if anyone needs a beta in general, you can PM me.

So, if anyone is willing to dare, my emaile is greyfable@gmail.com.

Peace.

Katie
