Oh, I appreciate beta readers! I like to think my writing's improved in the last eight years, and a large part of that has been due to all those kind and patient souls who've corrected my grammar and pointed out plot holes.
Erin, sorry to make you type [DELETE COMMA] so often
And thanks for being so enthusiastic about my fluff stories -- that really helps keep me motivated.
Wendy, you've been great, mostly with characterizations and b-plots, but with lots of other stuff, too... you've helped me out a lot, probably more times than you know -- even when we were fighting
Irene, I will always remember the time you made a casual comment that helped me figure out what was bugging me about my story, prompting a big rewrite that I was so much happier with.
I know there have been others along the way, and I'm grateful to each and every one of you, even if I can't remember your name right at this moment
Heck, I'm even grateful to the people who said they'd love to beta-read but then had to bow out as RL (not you, Roger) interfered.
Anyway... happy beta reader appeciation day!
PJ
