I haven't done it for a while and the last time I did it, I enjoyed the process (and it helped me as well).

I do have a few requirements, though:

1. Not interested in Sci-fi/fantasy or anything that resembles that. Just not my cup of tea.

2. Prefer literary fiction or self-help stories, and I like inspirational pieces, but I also enjoy a good darker themed novel as well.

3. Don't really want to go much beyond 80K words. A little more is ok, I guess, but would prefer that or less.

4. It helps me if it's formatted with double spaces. Makes it seem less daunting to me, but I supposed I could do that myself if I had to.

5. It may take me up to a month to finish it, but hopefully no longer than that.

Anyways, that's about it. So if anybody wants a beta reader, shoot me a PM and give me a little summary of what it's about. And I'll be honest, if the first chapter doesn't suck me into the story, I'll probably stop there, give you my comments for that chapter, and move along my merry way. lol Just want to say that upfront, so there's no confusion.

Anyway, if you don't think of me as too fickle, then hit me up. :D
