For the Love of a Beta

I'm fairly certain I was supposed to do this yesterday.

If you write, you makes misteaks.  It might be a type, used the wrong tense, or a misplaced, serial, comma.  Might be no subject in the sentence.  Or a fragment, maybe?

Regardless of the type of mistakes most common in your own writing, if you are lucky, you have a beta reader who knows exactly what to seek out and help you get it right.

My beta is DK, and she doesn't just fix my mistakes.  She pushes me along, tells me when something is crap, and encourages me throughout the entire process.  She's not just a pre-reader to help keep the plot from getting off track, and she's not just someone who removes half the commas I put in sentences.  She's also become a dear friend.

Believe me, if it weren't for her, you might never see another chapter of UC. :)

Thanks DK! :)
