Me: Hey, Snow Kiss! I’m hearing back from the betas on you, slowly but surely.
Snow Kiss: Do they like me? I hope they like me.
Me: They seem to. I’m getting a good balance of issues vs praise on you.
Snow Kiss: Issues?
Me: So far, small ones that are largely the result of losing information/introductions in the rewrites. Don’t fret.
Shadow Kiss: What about me? Do people like me?
Me: No one’s seen you yet. I haven’t even finished your rough draft and I already have massive rewrites planned for Act 1.
Shadow Kiss: Oh. Why are you talking to that other book then?
Me: Don’t be so possessive. And I’m about to hunker down and try to get Act 3 finished in the next fortnight, so you’ll get plenty of attention.
Shadow Kiss: Now?
Me: Yeah, now.
