Writing partner/beta reader/editor (a la continuity/believability)/confidant?

Okay, so I'm on my hundred billionth "first draft" (mostly false starts and do-overs and a little bit of "taking out the trash" haha). Just now I brainstormed about 20 characters.

Going to try to flesh them out tomorrow.

And then...

?

I need help keeping it all straight. But I AM thinking that if I can flesh out my characters each, they can each tell me a thing or two about how they connect to another one or more characters, and I'll hopefully be able to build on my story that way.

I still need a lot of assistance, though. This is exactly as lonely a sport as everyone would have me believe, but that's why I feel it's that much more necessary to have one or two people helping to keep me in check along the way!

Is anyone willing to help a dude like me with my story a little bit?

I'd love to help, though this would be a learning experience for the both of us. :) Let me know if there's anything you still need assistance with!
