I'm still deciding too. I have a YA I want to be working on, but I also have to be doing a lot of promo this month. ::spits three times and throws holy water::
The Great Write Way, Act Three: Where's the gun?
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
I'm half-assedly doing one(basically just stealing the deadline, because I've made no secret of not fitting in with the NaNo ethic.)
I'm trying to finishing editing my novel this month. It would be impossible for me to write one in a month anyhow even if I used every minute of free time I get.
I'm getting kind of backlogged. I've got the novel I'm editing, I need to work on my short story 'Sarah' to get it into shape for submitting and I think I'll turn that little 250 word piece into a little longer flash piece for submission, though it will sit on the shelf until next year since it's Halloween themed.
Oh yes, and congrats Typo Boy! I said it on Facebook, but no reason not to say it here too.
Thanks Gud.
What is the protocol for Beta-ing? I mean of course expectations can be anything if mutually agreed, but is normal beta-ing one-read-and-comment? Or is normal beta-ing, beta, give feedback, and then beta the modified results?
I think it's pretty much whatever people are willing to do for you.
I'm up to chapter 23 on my last revision before grammar-mistake and weak-verb/adverb hunting.
Typo Boy, the discussion that started here was about group critique experiences, but I think the advice would apply to beta-reading just as well.
