HELP! I am in search of some beta readers for my current project, My Sweet Annie, a mystery/ghost story! You would get sneak peek access to chapters in Google Docs, prior to publication on Wattpad. Your feedback could influence the shape of the story! I will pay you in a piece digital art (doodles like an avatar or character doodle) in exchange for your time — sketches when you start and finished art when you finish the novel! 
          	
          	If you’re interested, please let me know here :)

@Dooda79 YAY!!! Thank you so much!!! All I'm looking for is a reader, to be honest, who's willing to provide lots of comments as the story progresses and might be just a touch more critical than usual.  I'm still working on preparing the chapters in Google docs, but I'll let you know when they are ready and you can just read at your own pace! I'll have a document in there with info on the sketches/digital art you will get as payment too!!

Hi Mina!! I’d love to be one of your beta readers but in all honesty I haven’t done it before and I would need some guidance as to what it entails. I’d be happy to help because I’m so grateful for the happiness your books have brought. I’m ok with the commitment. Let me know ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Dear Readers, I haven’t gone far! I’m knee deep in a new project called My Sweet Annie, a horror novel centering on a bereaved young woman named Tabitha. She has just lost her grandmother, and as she prepares to deal with the house her gran left behind, she begins to suspect that it’s haunted…
          
          I will endeavor to post at least one chapter per week, and more when I’m able because I have zero impulse control.

@Dooda79 Hello! I'm working on another novel, yes! It's tentatively titled My Sweet Annie and it's a bit of a modern ghost story with family drama and a love story too.

I just want to let you know that if you ever decide to publish your stories, I’d buy them to read them again. In hardcover.

@MiniKunoichi I'm actually delighted that my stories count as the darker side of Wattpad! This comment is going on my wall as a point of immense pride forever!!!

I’d love to recommend them, but I’m not sure I want to expose my 70 yo aunt to the darker side of Wattpad

@MiniKunoichi  This is so nice of you to say and I screamed because my husband keeps trying to get me to explore publication

Me: *sits next to Mina* so I know I said Sunday but our boys won't leave me alone.
          Di: *walks in swinging his sword to his flute* I got it! I shall play Mr. Grump a song and make him want me.
          Uachi: *snorts and stops carving the little miniature version of Farra he was making for Uarria* And if you try i will shove it down your throat  *he says pointing his knife at him with a raised eyebrow.
          Di: *glances at us and grins mischievously* Ooo you got something else that I will gladly let you shove down it.
          Uachi:*glares at him blushing*
          *Awkward silence*
          Farra: *lunges at Di making his scream like a little girl and swats the flute from his hand then takes off with it.
          Di: *dives to catch Farra then proceeds to chase her out of the room yelling* HEY! Give me that back you over grown kitten! 
          Uachi: *shakes hid head grinning then goes back to carving*
          Me: *waves my hand toward the scene* See what I mean?? Gotta love our boys.
          
          Happy Friday! Hope you have a good weekend lady!  Keep up the writing!

@MelissaLinton7 You must have a greater weekend still! ☀️

Lol why thank you! My goal was just to make you laugh but that response is just great. I'm glad everyone enjoyed it.  I was hoping I portrayed them correctly. Didn't want to let you or them down❤️ And I will gladly accept a chapter whenever you want to post one.
            Me: *bows deeply with arms outstretched* I doubt I can out do this one but we shall see next time. Have a great weekend.  ❤️

@MelissaLinton7 Okay I just need you to know that this comment made my entire year. I shared it with my writing group AND my husband as an example of peer/reader pressure done to chef's kiss quality. Thank you for the laugh—which my writing buddies declared is "an accurate description of Diarmán and Uachi's relationship"  ESPECIALLY that dirty joke. Diarmán. SIR.
            
            I can almost promise a chapter by Sunday!  What other response could there be to this glorious writing except for a chapter?!

Girl I loved your series I have 4 in my reading list. I hope whatever has made it stop writing itsself will come back. I can't wait to read more about our Uachi, red headed no filter flirt and his brothers...  Hope I'm right guessing that's what it's about ❤️

LizzieB83

Totally understandable and yay!!!!!! I will be waiting!

@MelissaLinton7 Thank you so very much for reading! ❤️❤️❤️ Your comments made me so happy. I'm slowly getting back into writing! I just want to make sure to have most, if not all, of the next book finished before beginning to post so that there are no unexpected delays or breakdowns in posting! You might just be right about the subject of the next book...
