I got Fired

I got fired by my new beta reader today. I don't know how many beta readers I've gone through. I know that it only ever seemed to work out with Kaytala, but I was always the one to end the relationship before and now ... I've been dumped.

This is one of those moments when the people who know me intimately turn their head slightly so they can smile freely without me noticing. I'm really one of those people who deserves to be dropped on their can on a regular basis or their head gets inflated.

My feelings aren't hurt, but they did a good job, so I'm sad to have to say good-bye. Blah.

But there is one interesting thing that's just begun to happen. One of my old friends from high school just began sending me her novel and guess what? I actually find it interesting. That's amazing. I wish I could get stories from more of my friends to read - like Kaytala. But she never sends me her stuff. I wouldn't skin her alive or anything. Cross my heart.
