Whenever I think of my book that's being beta-ed (or just currently finished being beta=ed) I feel a pit grow in my stomach. I have to admit I don't love my story anymore. I feel like it's not worth anyone's time to read. My beta said it was good, but I just don't know.
The sad thing is, this isn't the first time this exact same thing has happened. I've tried beta-ing two other books before and each time I told my beta to drop it because I was trunking it. With that out there, I don't know if this is just a phase I'll always go through or if this book is really that bad.
The other two previous trunked books I think trunking them was the best decision I ever made.
I'm thinking I should just continue on working with my critique partner on this story until it's publishable then decide what I want to do. But on the other hand I feel like I'm wasting not only my time, but their's as well.
