She isn't a writer, but has the advantage of being a novelist's daughter, so is used to critiquing honestly. At some point I will be looking around for other readers though...Lazy Perfectionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01683908637772154798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108902282183852277.post-30825594816436553282007-06-27T23:04:00.000-05:002007-06-27T23:04:00.000-05:00Give me a few weeks, and I'll be happy to beta som...Give me a few weeks, and I'll be happy to beta something for you, Erica. After the move, and before school starts, I'll have time. I promise not to tell you I liked it. ;o) <BR/><BR/>Let me know when you might be ready, Tia. We'll talk over the whole beta thing. =o)B.E.

The trickiest thing for me is to find someone willing to BR and offer comments other than, "I liked it." (Or my fiance who, unlike Tia's DH, rarely makes it past the first chapter...)Erica Ridleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05511276393455961757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108902282183852277.post-41702837833589989072007-06-27T18:11:00.000-05:002007-06-27T18:11:00.000-05:00I have a crit partner, but its not very serious at...I have a crit partner, but its not very serious at this point. She takes a long time to return each segment, but at this point I am fine with that. Plus, my husband reads everything I write, and is not sparing with the criticisms.<BR/><BR/>I will want beta readers in a few months, however.Tia Nevitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05489109929908389257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108902282183852277.post-44578650020569716512007-06-27T17:42:00.000-05:002007-06-27T17:42:00.000-05:00I think your definitions are exactly the same as m...I think your definitions are exactly the same as mine.
