I can’t imagine spending 20 years revising one story. I can barely remember what I wrote last month. He must be pretty bad if all he has to show after two decades is one 4,000 word trash pile 😂

It could have been 100 years and it would have been the same

Yikes! I hope he doesn’t try to find you when he’s done with his next story… although it sounds like you’d have some time before he does

Well if he tries to do that carp again doubt there will be any survival so criticize, criticize, and criticize some more.

Holy smokes that’s a long time! That’s also a funny quote from King, given how bloated some of his books are 😂.

I don’t think my abductor had much sense of irony!

When I saw this, I did not walk. I ran 🤣 Excellent once again. I thought for sure he was going to unalive "you" when picked the sword up again but thankfully you live to tell another story

Throwing things away is necessary. In all aspects of life. Throw it away.

He sounds like a good candidate for the U of I Writers Workshop.

My grandpa always said that you can't polish a turd. He was a very wise man...

20 years and only 4,000 words? Writing is not his thing. Thousands of people finish 50,000 in a month for Nano.

You should definitely contact the admins of any site you find his story on: his “proprietary software” is probably a cross-site scripting attack, and sites don’t tend to like those.

Also interesting that his story is so bad that he has to judge if it’s any good based on how long someone lasts before throwing it out, and that he’s getting no comments or reviews or upvotes.
