Whiny teens, a questionably named band, this has all the makings of a dystopia movie franchise now change the setting to have a ton more barbed wire and everybody should be hunting with dynamite tipped bows and trying to have sex in the blindspots between state sanctioned spy cameras.

No, I'm not doing any of that. I was also that angsty in my mid 20's and the stupid thing is 3 loving dollars. just don't buy it at all then. it's not for you, clearly. it's for people that just plain hate other people and everyone and everything while admitting that they are just a whiny human being. which is exactly what i am.

If you write a book only for you then it's not really a book its a diary. And itd be rude to read your diary.

wesflarger posted:I wrote a book. Yeah, I'm advertising it here. I hope this isn't ban-able offense. You don't even have to but it ($3) if you have a Kindle subscription it's free. If you read it, let me know how much you loving hated it. i completely forgot that this was supposed to be the purpose of the thread. OP, your book sucks horse cock. You are a terrible writer and will almost certainly never find success as one. Your book is a weak dribbling piss into a sea of liquid poo poo. If your book was a person and I met them on the street I would throw a wasp nest at their head

Lol. Anyway, there are tons of books written about being an angsty, misunderstood teenager/young adult that are just as authentic as yours, but are better-written. You can revise or rewrite your book and keep it authentic, it's not a betrayal to yourself or or your work. "To Kill a Mockingbird" started out as a entirely different novel, after all.

You can revise or rewrite your book and keep it authentic, it's not a betrayal to yourself or or your work. "To Kill a Mockingbird" started out as a entirely different novel, after all. It's definitely not perfect and could be written in a more "professional" way, but I didn't want to write it like that. It's all a soliloquy and I wanted it to be solely from the protagonist's perspective.

quote:It's about a disillusioned teenage boy who is a suicidal drug addict with a family that couldn't care less about his existence. Sartana posted:Can someone who knows a lot about english and language and poo poo explain structurally why I can tell this guy is a bad writer based on this sentence alone The application of the word "disillusioned" tells us that the writer might well lack healthy distance and detachment from the point of view of the immature suicidal drug addict protagonist (himself as a youth). In fact addicts, the suicidal and the immature are usually under the spell of many resentful illusions (and have many self-centred delusions). Self-published unedited unworkshopped autobiographical and semi-autobiographical works frequently do lack a healthy detachment.This is often one of the reasons why the authors of such works couldn't sell to a publisher. "A family that couldn't care less about his existence", the author writes. Yet his parents clothed, fed and housed him, and presumably also gave him enough pocket money for him to afford the drugs he craved, in spite of him being, from the sounds of it, an ungrateful little poo poo who would later self publish a probably slanderous ebook in a vain attempt to "get even" with them. All this screams "bad writer" from the page... mainly from the page of this thread, as few are likely to read the book in its current form, in spite of, or more correctly because of the ego-based self-promotion here.
