[1/2]
Hi, everyone! I'm finally taking a leap of faith and getting started on my original novel, which I plan to submit for publication--I know, it's kind of sudden, but it's been a long time coming since the idea came to me. I've still got a few projects I'm going to post here, and knowing myself, I won't get tired of coming up with new things between writing that BIG thing. It's just how I am.
On that note, I am in desperate need of beta(s), and how else am I going to achieve finding them but by asking for help from all of you, dear followers (and profile clickers)? So, here's a quick note to inform you of the basics to being my beta. Don't worry, you'll be acknowledged in all the works you'll help me with!
BETA: What's in it for you?
Perks ^^
1) Access to my outlines and ideas
2) Access to my WIPs
3) Access to my drafts
4) Unlimited raving about stories you like and stories I like
5) A deeper look into my creative process
6) You get to be my friend!!! (So you get to bully me when I'm being unreasonable!)
* Items 4-6 depend on you, really.
What you gotta do:
1) Critique my outlines and ideas
2) Critique and proofread my drafts
3) Beat the stuffing out of me if I slack
4) Be a friend to me??? (A professional working relationship is good, too!)
What you gotta have:
1) A desktop or a laptop computer preferably with Google drive installed
2) A working e-mail address
3) Proficiency in the English language
4) Proficiency in Google docs and MS Word
5) An open mind
6) A thread of patience that stretches the entire diameter of the Earth (along the equator)
7) Willingness to be friends with me??? (Really, it depends on you.)
What I write (both for original and fan fiction):
1) Romance
2) Fantasy
3) Sci-fi
4) Thriller/Action
5) Comedy (still working on my dry sense of humor, though; maybe you can help with that?)
6) Historical
7) Anything under the sun, really, but the first six are my top picks
(cont'd on the first comment to this post!)
