When I first started beta reading I was absolutely terrified.<br /><br />And query mistakes, GAH. It absolutely doesn't matter how much prep you do, odds are you're going to make a well-intentioned mistake like your example here. *Hugs* It hurts to learn that way!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05629343835090101890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784301609008008440.post-64834664271740629712011-07-13T11:42:55.581-04:002011-07-13T11:42:55.581-04:00In the words of Skipper the Penguin, "Just sm...In the words of Skipper the Penguin, "Just smile and wave, boys."<br /><br />Advice I live by in teaching, and with CPs. I usually agree with a lot of what they tell me, especially if it's repeated from several CPs, but when I disagree, I've learned to bite my tongue.<br /><br />The second one - definitely ouch. I've had to send one nudge letter and the agent was so apologetic.
