28K in a month, on a variety of projects, most/all of which were written to final-edit standards? That is an impressive feat indeed, and you should be very proud of yourself.
And betas are SO MUCH. I get all heart-swelly wibbly over betas. They take your labor of love and they make it better. And not just better, but take it a step farther -- or several steps farther! -- than you could have ever managed to take it on your own. And all for nothing more than a thank you and whatever satisfaction they may derive from the task. It makes me want to cry, I have so many feelings about it.
And even knowing why I do it -- and how much pride and satisfaction I take in the job (WHICH IS CONSIDERABLE) and how rewarding I find it on its own terms -- doesn't make me any less wibbly with gratitude about my own betas. I just. BETAS.
