Oh boy. Now that I’ve gotten past the struggle of the first few chapters of the second draft of this novel, I can now begin to think seriously about giving the novel to beta readers at some point in the near, near future.
It’s going to be a real pain in the ass.
But, as I used to say during the ROKon Magazine era, “every problem is just a opportunity in disguise.” So, as such, I’m going to have to be a beta reader for other people so they’ll be my beta reader. This is point in the process when, to a certain extent, things are out of my hands.
So, it could be a few months before I get any feedback on the second draft. As such, I’ve decided to really take more seriously the idea of working on a second and third “creative track” so I work on those novels while I wait for people to get back to me about the beta draft.
I’m growing alarmingly close to my 50th’s birthday so…I need to put up or shut up on the actually getting closer to the process of querying. It could be as early as this fall and it could be as late as about a year from now.
But it is going to happen.
