You know, writing is often marketed as a solitary kinda thing. And, in many ways, it is.
A good writer spends a lot of time in their own head, I suspect. Daydreaming, writing, rewriting, redaydreaming (shut up it's a word now)... a lot of this requires time to spend "Braining" your way through your story.
But then comes the rest of the world. Editors to help trim and tighten your stories. Beta readers to give feedback and suggestions. Publishers and agents to work with the story to get it to your audience, and then the audience itself to read and (hopefully) enjoy it.
All of this to say that I'm extremely grateful for the people who read my novel and have given me their feedback so far. This is going to allow me to finish this novel (finally) and send it off to a few agents, and hopefully get something started towards becoming a full-time author.
That's the plan. And I've thanked my editors many times (they do a pretty thankless job, all things considered), but now I have to thank my beta readers.
So, thanks folks!
Anyway, gotta get this novel finished and sent out. Only a week left in the month!
