I was literally just thinking about this the other day!! Thanks Lindsey for reading my mind

[@itslindseeey]

Haha I love it! We're always on the same wavelength

*takes a drink of water every time Lindsey says “beta”*

[@itslindseeey]

As long as it's water, you'll survive. Stay away from the hard stuff 😂

There's a glitch where you freeze at 4:45. You recommended starting a TikTok to find beta readers; is there anything we missed?

[@itslindseeey]

Oh no! I might try re-uploading! It looks like on my end, after about 15 seconds the glitch/freeze goes away, there's definitely a few more tips.

@@itslindseeey I know there's more information in the video after that point, I'm just wondering if you remember what was skipped over.
