I think we all need someone who help us see the mistakes, the gold, and guide us to making our own writing the best it can be. When it comes to myself, the old saying of "no man is an island" is true. I'm sort of a slut when it comes to working with people and enjoy new ideas and opinions, but I've been lucky to work with some truly talented people. "It takes a village" in my case to make my stuff look respectable. Therefore, I'm never one to miss a chance to thank people so here goes.
Maria - She was the first to read over and make any suggestions about my poetry.
Frosty - She has worked on more of my stuff and kept me honest.
Renee Stevens - She has beta'd and edited for me. She has no problem telling me when I have screwed and need to redo, rewrite, or rethink something. Hey I appreciate the honesty. She is there for writing or as a friend and that is always worth knowing.I happily try to return the favor when she needs it.
Cia - She has worked with me, but on my stuff. She is another one who is honest about missing the boat, correcting the syntax, and all of that. When you have someone who wants your stuff to shine, who complains?
KC Grimm - Friend, beta, or editor he does it all. When you want someone to be honest with you, can't go wrong with asking KC. The only thing KC usually asks is for more sex in my stories. I've helped with his stories when asked and growled at him when I thought he was shorting his stories and himself.
Lugh - He might seem grumpy but when you ask him for a hand he is down right honest and insightful. Isn't that what anyone wants when you ask for someone to look over your work? Here is someone who is fun to bounce ideas off of, because he is harder on himself than nearly anyone I've ever worked with.
Andy(Quonus10) - He is presently helping to beta a story for me. It is changing how I approach things and hopefully will make my writing a bit more exciting.
Intune - She stepped into the void left by others and helped me pull Accidents Happen together with her editing. Thank you again.
Jian - He stepped in and added some wonderful ideas while he helped to beta for me. I can't thank him enough.
Then there are those who keep me looking at new ideas and seeing things through completely different sets of eyes. I gratefully work as their team.
Mark - Adopted family or not he has a lot to say and sees things in new ways. I am happy to do what I can to keep him writing.
Billy Brat - The man has story to tell and I do what I can to help him fill the gaps and dress the settings.
Daniel - His first story was a pleasure to help with and to any who work him I know you will enjoy it as well.
MysteryMan- Okay I will uncover his secrets but presently enjoying his tale and seeing where he is taking it.
