Should I? Could I?

[dejana]

I finally finished the long-overdue task of beta-reading the revised chapters of Sapphiregirl's "For Love or Duty." Whew. I gotta do something about this procrastination problem I have. -_-

Next up:
Ry's story

Then:
"Exiles" 6

You know... I'm more proud of being the beta for certain stories than I am proud of my own stories. I think I'd be happier as some elite in-demand Beta of Awesome than as a BNF in my own right. But then, I've always been the kind of person who fits better as the shining star's #1 man. Some people are just cut out for that kind of role.

That last part sounds a lot like my mother.

And, there is a certain appeal to being an elite beta. You'd be very well-known among the talented and probably thanked in author notes of the best stuff out there. Pretty cool.

Of course, if you become this elite beta, I would never be able to use you. :( I'd never get passed the waiting list. Regardless, it could be a cool thing to do for a while...and it will probably help your writing. Writing is a lot like preaching...really good or really bad makes you want to get out there and do some yourself.

Or, y'know, you could just be you and be both at the same time. =]
