The Alpha and the Beta

I’ve been following rule #1 – write every day – maybe a little too literally. Probably need a break. In fact, I definitely do. But one other thing that I did do was invite a few readers who have indicated interest from early on, to read the alpha version of the book. Now I just have to sit back and wait for the punches to start coming.

I’m looking forward to doing a wider-spread early feedback round when the book is in a beta-quality state, which should be at least three more months. I plan to blitz recruitment on this site later, but if you already know that you might be interested in participation in the beta round, please feel free to let me know through the various contact options on the Tumblr blog.
