Complete Rubbish

Inner dialogue sometime during this weekend at 2:55 in the morning.

——-

Complete and total rubbish, that is!

What is it you’re talking about, you nutter?

Well, my short story that’s what!

Oh, you wrote–you wrote a story, a short one, you say, and it wasn’t any good? I could have told you that you stupid git! I read some of the rubbish you post in this blog. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I am, I am….

So what are ya going to do about it, eh? Write more crap or are ya going to crack a dictionary for once and use it as God intended?

———

And so it went.

So where did this wave of self doubt and recrimination originated?

From a “beta” my good friend Iz did for me recently.

Did I mention it was a HUGE favor? I mean titanic in its scope. He dragged his eyes (mid-vacation mind you) across the garbage strewn landscape that I dared called a story and after much sorting he managed to pull out the salvageable bits.

Now I need to recycle those very bits into a story worth reading.

I can do this.

I can overcome my dreadful grammar, horrible pacing and give some emotions to my characters.

YES I CAN!

And I will too.

Just you see.

Or Issac will see, if he has the stomach for a second round.

Did I mention that this favor was of astronomical proportions? Super Nova pale in comparison to what he did for me.

Just so you know.

And now for a cool anime style game trailer:
