Granted I go through them very thoroughly. Still it&#8217;s a lot of time. It ate up much of my chilling and drawing time this month. So know when you&#8217;re going to edit a book, it&#8217;s going to take a while.

My Beta System is Working &#8211;<\/span> So over a month ago I came up with this grand scheme to get my editing done in an efficient way since I&#8217;m on a tight schedule to get <i>Red Hood <\/i>ready for the professionals who have requested it. Miraculously, it&#8217;s working.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Here&#8217;s the scoop. I picked six betas, friends of mine of different levels of friendship who have or haven&#8217;t read the book before who are writers and some who are not writers. I edited the book in sections and sent them 5-6 chapters at a time so while I&#8217;m editing the next sections they&#8217;re going through what I&#8217;ve already done. That way, I can get the chapters back the fastest. So now I&#8217;m going through all of the critique feedback and I&#8217;m able to look at everyone&#8217;s critique at the same time so I can pick and choose what I want and such. It&#8217;s working pretty well and I&#8217;m very happy.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">5.) My Betas are Awesome &#8211;<\/span> I picked the best betas. Like quoted in <i>Indiana Jones: The Last Crusade<\/i>, choose wisely. Picking the right betas can make or break your feedback experience, and I&#8217;m happy to report I did indeed choose wisely this time. Each of my betas has different advice and focuses on different aspects of the story. Sometimes they give opinions on the same thing, so I can choose which advise I want to take. I feel so blessed by them.
