This week has been a bit quiet, more than I would have liked. I gained a beta reader for my second round of beta readers, but I continue to wait to hear from the school about the students who wish to beta for me.
Back in Dec 2019 I had asked the superintendent of the school I work for if I the students could beta read my book as an extra credit project. He saw no problem with this, he also never had a question like this before. I thought it was funny but also sad cause he assumed I was going to request a book be removed from the library. Anyway, I said it didn’t need to start until Jan because I was still editing, but now that it is January and school has been back for a week now I think I’m getting either impatient or nervous. He had previously told me there are at least seven students interested but I had to hear from the English teachers to move forward. I haven’t heard anything yet and I might go crazy with the wait.
I understand patients is a virtue, and it has only been a week into the new school year, but OMG I can’t take. Call me impatient I don’t care but I must know if my book is any good to the age group I want to sell it to. I think of myself as strange because I want feedback, I want people to give me their honest opinion because that is the only way I can fix what needs fixed.
How many of you get that feeling of impatience when it comes to getting feedback?
