Those who take the time to read my near-to-final drafts are heroes, in my mind. They may not fight fires, keep us safe, or try to find a way to defeat the Mad Titan, but they make me such a better writer.Whether I have ever met them or not, I get to know them. Some are really good at typos, some notice things I never would have seen about plot or character, others spot inconsistencies, and all of them bring their own expertise in another field to my research.
Because of that, I develop a sense of community with them. They are taking the intimate revelings of my soul and critiquing them. They are all so kind, and they do not need to be. I can take it. But I appreciate it. They become friends.
I am a better writer because of Beta Readers, so thank you Linda, Sara, Rebecka, and Susanne. Part of you is in The Sky Above Chaos: Short Stories by Markus McDowell.
