She'...I have a great friend for read-throughs. She'll circle weird typos, she writes and/or circles when something just doesn't flow right. Maybe it's a phrase I use all the time that doesn't come across well when writing.<br />The best thing she does is tell me when she feels buildup, tells me when I need to give the reader more information and tell me - Hey I get it, you don't need to tell me again.<br />I'm very fortunate in that she's not afraid to tell me when things aren't working but she's a good enough friend to leave me little happy faces when things are.<br />I have yet to be an alpha or beta for someone else. Kinda scary.Jolene Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809468564016928636noreply@blogger.com
