darkemeralds: Photo of fingers on a computer keyboard. (Writing)

Beta-reader notes on the final draft of Restraint have started coming in. This is the most nerve-wracking process!

The feedback so far is excellent: constructive, knowledgeable, and detailed. Nobody so far hates the novel. But the silences! Do the non-responders dislike it too much to comment? Were they too bored to finish? Are they too nice to say so?

It's impossible to get my ego out of the way. These people are doing me a huge favor and I don't want to press them, but only the fact that I have acrylic nails is keeping me from biting those nails off.

Ha! Welcome to my world. I am assured by people who ought to know that silence means they are liking it.

Are they (like me, occasionally - I'm not judging) lazy?! :D Just a possibility.
