Beta Blocker

Last week I completed the edits to Spirit Hackers which brought my long and inconsistent writing process with this WIP to another milestone: Second Draft.  I've talked a lot lately about how long it's taken me to get to this point but boy am I glad I got here!  Any time I complete a stage of this project I am filled with a huge sense of accomplishment and confidence.  If you include my Robert book, I have now written two full-length novels.

So what do I do now?  Continue the process of course.  In the months leading up to the completion of my initial draft, I began lining up some beta readers.  I'm not an active member of the Absolute Write forums (haven't even visited the site in years) and so it was a little tougher of a process finding people I was comfortable in approaching.  In the end, I think I made some good choices.  My first beta and I tossed a few preliminary e-mails around setting the stage for what I was looking for and in just a few hours my baby, my sacred story, was shuttled through the internet at light speed hurdling towards an inbox.  Now the hard part for me: I wait for the impending feedback.  Patience has never been my strong suit so I'm doing my best to not tweet or e-mail this person so I'm not a pest.  I think I'll be fine.

With Spirit Hackers off my plate (for now) I can turn my attention to another project.  "Another project?! What other project?" you may be asking yourself.  Stay tuned to Copious Notes to find out soon.
