who sees WIP?
No one. Family has no interest, & I don’t have beta readers.
I spent years seeking beta readers, but no one was willing to sample my work. So, I gave up. I tried critique partners, but chose them poorly. I ended that, too.
Instead, I initiated a lengthy rotation, making me a reader. Lengthy, meaning letting stories sit for a year or so. For instance, I’m doing the novel scan on Book-5. I’ll publish it in autumn 2026.
