You’ll see writers talking about how much they value their “early” readers (aka beta readers) for their feedback on story ideas, pacing, plot points, characterization, etc. That holds doubly true for me as I struggle to put together a story that keeps the reader’s attention. My mother is one of my biggest supporters in all things writing, so she is always willing to read a rough draft and provide comments.

There was a time when I was cool. I know there was. I can feel it like one of those distant memories that comes back to you with some clarity and you can glimpse it for a few moments, then it disappears. Unfortunately, now the level of my coolness is completely dependent upon the whims of my 14 yr old teen queen – and she sets the bar pretty high. Here is a recent conversation –
Me – “Hey, did I tell you that I now have 36k followers on Twitter.” TQ (teen queen) – “That’s not really cool, Dad, you don’t even know those people.” Me – “Yes I do! They’re all my BFF’s!”
TQ – “You mean even those folks you swap messages with in Korea and the Phillipines?”
Me – “Uh, yeah! I’m good friends with all of them. We chat about how much we love K-pop like ‘Gangnum Style'” (I then begin to dance around the room like I’m riding a horse and sing the song.)
TQ- “Ok Dad, ok, …stop dancing, please please stop dancing ….. .I’m sure you are BFF’s with all your twitter followers (eyeroll). You should know there is a new acronym for folks like you on social media. It is S-M-H .”
Me- “Wow! Does it stand for So Macho & Handsome?” TQ – “No….. it stands for — Social Media Ho.” Me – (indignantly) – “No way! I’m not a Social Media Ho.” TQ – “Well Dad, I didn’t make up the term. You better
do a little checking on the web and see if maybe you are one.” Me – “Challenge accepted.”
Huh? Me? I got nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award. What the Heck?
OK, so i’m in …great idea and thank you Tammy at Novel Opinion –
