Communication

When you have Beta readers, or, if you are a Beta reader, I think it's incredibly important to communicate. Not just to say, "Hey, this is what I'd like out of your comments," but to also say, "Hey, I'm really busy right now. I'll do my best, but...I'll be lagging."

I have a few people I'm reading for that in the last month they've gotten all of a chapter out of me. When I have time, I'm known to hit a chapter a night. But...things get in the way. So, as soon as I saw my plate start piling up, I sent the e-mail apologizing, and telling them my responses/my reading will be incredibly slow. Most of them said it was okay, so that was nice.

How have you guys been? Are you ready for March yet? I am.

Also, did anyone check into Amazon's Breakthrough Novel Award? You may see a familiar name there for round two :)
