Oh! I forgot! And I’m looking for a Brittish beta-reader too. I’ve got two characters who are modern Britts, and I have very little idea how modern Britts talk. If you happen to know any Brittish people who might be interested, I would be appreciative.

@dragon-snapper Okay, well, you can be part of the first round if you think that would be best.

Go ahead and send me the manuscript right away.

@hope Sure.
@his-instrument While I don’t have time to completely beta read it, I could brainstorm with you about the overall plot, characterization, theme, and stuff like that. I might be able to beta read the first couple chapters too, just for stylistic stuff. I don’t know for sure, but we’ll wait and see.

I half agree with you @dragon-snapper. If you work on a new project during your break, I think it’s fine though.

@winter-rose Breaks aren’t absolutely necessary, but they are really helpful. If you feel like your work is a sloppy mess, it’s more likely that you need a break from it. But I don’t think that means you have to keep it from your alpha reader. What you might do is just let her read it and give you her thoughts, but don’t look at her thoughts until…[Read more]

@Winter-Rose I’m kinda busy and I didn’t bother to read the previous comments so hopefully I’m not repeating them too much. XD But I’ve found breaks incredibly helpful. You finish a novel. You set it aside. You either take a break from writing, or work on something new that you’re inspired about (whichever you prefer). This helps avoid total…[Read more]

@daeus @graciegirl If you want, love, you can just DM it to me on Insta and I can give it to him? Unless Daeus has a better, more efficient way.

@northerner Thanks 🙂
@his-instrument Are you talking about The Prince of the Barbarians?
@lifeofkatie Sure, well, it’s all up to you. At the moment, I don’t feel any particular need for another beta-reader, but if it’s something you’d want to do, I’d be more than glad to get your feedback. Each new perspective notices something nobody else did.…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper Yes, that’s fine.

@northerner Eh, yeah. I wish I could. 🙁

Medieval details? Seriously? I would actually love that.

@dragon-snapper So it will be around 80,000 words. Yeah, that sounds perfectly doable. Sign me up. 🙂

I can’t guarantee that I’d be the best person to do this, but I’m certainly interested. @daeus

As for the critique-swap… *gulps* my WIP is nowhere near ready for that.

Yep. I’m sure. @ethryndal

@that_writer_girl_99 Suuuure…

*chokes* I don’t see the “primitive people” you speak of, either…

Aaaand, if anything, I’m blind, not confused. *adjusts glasses* @ethryndal

@That_writer_girl_99 *fixes you with icy stare* I beg your pardon. *sniffs disdainfully* I understand your confusion, though. Great power has always baffled more primitive people.

*looks around* I’m here, but I don’t see any awesomeness… just you. @ethryndal

*grins* Cya, Snapper!

@That_writer_girl_99 Oh, wait, no. False alarm. I have to go do something actually productive first. See you in a bit.

@That_writer_girl_99 You still here? I have brought my awesomeness for a visit.

@dragon-snapper WAIT! NO! COME BACK, KID!

Nuuuuuu *cries*
