60,000 words??? I'm boggling at the sheer amount of work that is. I've done it with 20,000, but that's only a third. Did you write something completely new, practically rewrote what you had, or is it something completely different?
Not sure about betas at this point. I'm reluctant to let anyone read it. I've tried that before, but it didn't work out. The story is too unfinished, too much of it is still in my head for anyone else to get the big picture. I've talked with a friend about the general idea yesterday. Just hearing that I'm not completely insane helped a bit. I think I'll try the 'keep writing and don't look back' approach for now.
