Absolutely thrilled to announce that I've taken the bold step of releasing my book to the careful scrutiny of beta readers. Let me be candid – this process is an exhilarating rollercoaster of emotions. As the first feedback reports trickle in, I'm caught between a whirlwind of nervous anticipation and sheer excitement.
Reading those initial two feedback reports has been an absolute delight. They're brimming with encouraging words and enthusiastic endorsements, adorned with just a sprinkle of constructive observations. It's a feeling akin to being on cloud nine, and I can't help but revel in it.
Comparing the act of sending out your manuscript to sharing a fragment of your very soul isn't an exaggeration. It's a suspenseful waiting game, like clinging to the edge of your seat with bated breath, all while your stomach ties itself into knots. You're sending off a piece of your innermost creativity and vulnerability, and then the vulnerability grows tenfold as you await their verdict. It's an experience that leaves you feeling wonderfully exposed yet undeniably empowered all at once.
I am so very proud of the courage I have displayed and the confidence to share this!
T.L. Schick
