Today's discussion topic:

[OFFER TO BETA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS (fanfic flamingo) REMEMBER WHY YOU STOPPED]

Have you ever been burned when betaing, or have you been lucky?

I can't beta read, unfortunately. I've tried, and I'm rotten at it. I would like to be able to help other writers and give back for those who've helped me. I'm okay as a first reader or a cheerleader. I just can't beta read. I don't spot errors in spelling and grammar. I can't point out where characterization or plot go off the rails (or work really well).

Not a bad day but I took a break from writing. Not sure why but I refuse to feel bad about it.

I am no help with grammar and spelling (although I do see a few things) but I love to help with characterisation and plot and stirring up ideas or just let people bounce ideas of me. I feel even if I am writing something completely different bouncing ideas around helps me with creativity.

It's been such a long time of no writing that I feel very frustrated.

I have been lucky in betaing. My writers are all very kind and willing to listen.
