bad writing
Well, I am not going to pretend that I'm not doing so well with my novel. I need to write over 45,000 words in the next week.
On the upside, I just read Bruce Sterling's The zenith angle and it was really, really bad. Not as bad as what I am writing, but Bruce is a pro. In a way it was a little inspiring.

Cheer up, man, the literary game
is by nature an arena of suffering.
And didn't you hear? A book is NEVER finished...it's abandoned.
GOOD LUCK.
Well, I am not going to pretend that I’m not doing so well with my novel.
Too many negatives there, I'm confused. Ooo, shiny!
You're right, there's something of a double negative there that I didn't mean. I was doing badly with the novel and didn't want to pretend otherwise.
I scrapped it the day before the end of the month, too.
Aha. I thought maybe you were doing well with the novel.
Are you going to try again next year?
