Well, really it's more like anxiety (I seriously think I may have some OCD, things can get bad), but for the last few days I have been feeling some definite dejection. Ah, teenagedom...Brooke R.

I can't really call her a beta reader, because she's more than that and I trust her to tell me what works and what doesn't. My husband's pretty handy that way, too.
