Sirmuftyink A beta reader isn’t there to tell you whether your story is “good” or “bad.” We’re there to tell you: • Where we got invested • Where we got confused • Which characters stayed with us • Which scenes dragged • Which moments made us turn the page The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is helping your story reach its full potential.

Dear writers, If a reader says, “I couldn’t put it down,” that’s wonderful. If a reader says, “I got confused here,” that’s valuable. If a reader says, “This character broke my heart,” that’s gold. Every reaction tells a story about your story. That’s why beta readers matter.

Globiuz: The Golden Scallop — A Deeper Dive into Douglas’s Expanding Fantasy Realm Expanding the world of Globiuz for a while now, and I finally sat down to write a deeper dive into Book II: The Golden Scallop — how the tone shifts, how the world grows darker, and how the characters start carrying the weight of their own legends. In this article, I talk about the aftermath of Opules’ fall, the rise of the Mazars , and how the world begins to feel less like a playground and more like a place with history, scars, and consequences.

If you’re into worldbuilding, character‑driven fantasy, or just curious about how a universe evolves from book to book, here’s the full dive: Always happy to talk writing, lore, or the strange joy of building worlds from scratch.

🔥 Nobody Sees Chapter One People see the finished book. They see the published project. They see the polished design. What they don’t see are the countless drafts, mistakes, revisions, and moments of doubt that came before it. Every creator starts as a beginner. Every expert once made something terrible. The difference is that they kept going. 🔗 Explore my work: https://journeytobugo.my.canva.site/
