In reply to: celtgirl 's message, "My beta readers are hugely important to me. There is just so much you miss as the writer of the work, I've been over it so many times by then that I see what I think ought to be there on the page, rather than what is. My brain seems to just automatically supply the correct phrasing and so then I think it's there. Plus it takes a long time for a book to detach itself from the author's liver, as another writer friend of mine put it- so sometimes things don't flow as well as they should, but I simply can't see it." on 18:08:05 07/27/09 Mon

I don't know if I'm in the beta reader group, but I'll do anything for a night with Casey ;) (NT) -- Carla, 21:29:05 07/27/09 Mon
- Yes, you're one of my Betas, girl. You always help me bring the bones of the story up to the surface, so much better than I could possibly manage on my own. Lee already e-mailed me and said she's ready whenever I am. I also got an e-mail from another willing victim tonight, that I can put on my list. In all truthfulness, you can't imagine how grateful I am that you all are willing to do this for me. (NT) -- celtgirl (), 21:38:05 07/27/09 Mon
  - Well, it's a huge sacrifice but I'm willing to put myself out there solely from love and friendship for yourself. It has nothing to do with getting a sneak peek at the next book or spending time with the Riordans and his Lordship. Selfless, that's what I am purely selfless :) (NT) -- Carla, 05:27:20 07/28/09 Tue
    - Hehehe you make me laugh! (NT) -- Tracy, 06:49:32 07/28/09 Tue
