handing over unbeta’d writing feels like sitting in confessional
I have sat in a confessional. I can confirm that handing over unbeta’d writing is 210% worse.
confessional: “here are my sins”
writing: “here is an unfiltered, direct manifestation of the contents of my soul.”
priest: “I am required to die rather than reveal to anyone what you tell me.”
beta reader: “OMGGGGG I CAN’T WAIT TO SCREAM ABOUT THIS ON MY TUMBLR AS;LDKFJAASLKJDF”
#sometimes i want the validation#sometimes i’m like no.#stop liking this#save yourself#shun me before i write again
