The newest Spanks for the Memories is in the queue and there are a few kinda big things in this one.
One of the wonderful readers on SoL recently offered to go through my story with a fine-tooth comb and look for those little things that drive some readers crazy.
This guy wasn't the one listed on the author resource page who has agreed to help, yet has been a little busy with their own life, but rather a regular reader who likes my story and wanted to help make it even better by fixing things that critics notice. As a result, this guy gets to see the rough drafts of chapters go from being pig poo, through the cleanup process to become more like coal (One day I might produce a diamond in the rough but until then, I'm already very happy with what I produce).
I was about to call out this reader for his effort, time, hard work and incredible help in preparing the current chapter. Then I began doubting myself.
Had I asked if it was okay to give such accolades? I thought I had, but for the life of me I can't locate his specific approval to be recognized - and he could be someone that does NOT want the publicity. So instead I sent him a specific message requesting the use of his name as my newest editor. If he says its okay, I really want to give him props.
I read the latest chapter probably half a dozen times and he STILL found more oopsies.
So it's now official. CBEARS52 has ALREADY confirmed that he will happily accept my public appreciation for his efforts, so I'll be able to add his name to the story notes and give him weekly props. Thanks CBEARS52!
