Beta Feedback
From Una Medina Olmsted, Ph.D.: I passed my first newbie milestone this month at the conclusion of phase one of reader beta tests. Several readers asked me to write more about a certain character and insisted on knowing “What happens next?” I’m delighted to watch readers laugh at my humor writing. I’m thrilled to watch their eyes lock onto the page at the suspense sections. I’m challenged where readers stop reading and look up, confused. I’m grateful to learn exactly where the work requires improvement, areas of craft not developed in other forms of writing. There is a lot of room for improvement but the hints of future success are popping into reality. Pop! Pop!
The most satisfying feeling in the midst of the fizz and swirl of reader feedback is a dawning certainty that my first two works are real. Readers read them. I am read. Thank you, beta readers, for your gift of this basic and beginning validation. I am a fiction writer.
