The funny thing with that phone charger was that I wasn't even trying to be horrific -- that whole story I was just thinking up the most ludicrous things I could each day. 😅
I really need to unpublish that thing and give it the re-write it deserves..... can people do that? Unpublish and republish? I love that it gave me experience. I hate that I cringe every time I think someone is reading it. I don't know why. Is it horrible or am I just being stupid? I intentionally keep it quiet now so that no-one knows it exists. Sigh.
Um, you DID publish the novel, didn't you? and right after I reviewed it, Amazon purged me for violation of the Friends and Family policy. If you refer to the daily posts during NaNoWriMo, who's going to find those now? At least, that's how I feel about my own awful NaNo novel. I should purge it, but I figure nobody will find it anyway. Much less waste time reading it all. As I recall, yours was fine--not an embarrassment!--but I don't recall how much got edited before the novel came out (and congratulations on that!).
Yes, I did publish it... and you did review it... and that whole kerfuffle happened.
No-one can find the original draft unless they go through blockchain records and see my edits: I deleted the content off every post. But I'm just embarrassed by the book.
Doesn't matter in the greater scheme of things I guess.
I'm amazed that you're so embarrassed by this story! I love so many things about it!
I think the main things with it that I'm hating now are:
The god-awful sex scene.
There are two chapters that are zap quick and feel strange and cut-off even to me, as the writer re-reading. I can't imagine how a normal reader would feel about that.
Other than that... I guess it's okay! But I really work myself up sometimes, that's all...🙃
I don't remember the sex scene 🙃 but I never remember battle scenes either, mostly because I speed-read or skim anything too graphic for me. "Moonfall" is a great story. Don't sell yourself short!
It wasn't on my NaNoWriMo draft -- I wrote it, but refused to post it. OMG I JUST READ IT AGAIN AND I'M LAUGHING.
It's really terrible.
That's just the end of the scene -- the beginning is so much worse.
I CAN TASTE YOU. really.
That's just the end... the beginning of the scene is even worse.
It won't let me edit my comment... so... replying to myself.
That's just the end of the scene -- the beginning is so much worse.
