I sincerely apologize to anyone who had the misfortune of reading the atrocious piece of fiction titled Chillin' in the Park. I regret wasting TCat's time proofreading it and would like to offer her all my points as compensation. I assure every CYStian reading this that such a story will never be published by me again.

With deepest condolences,
Bezro

I'm just confused, Bezro. What possessed you to publish it in the first place? Surely you've been around for long enough to know better.

I got inspired to make a very schizophrenic story by someone's post, so I did, and I think it was pretty schizophrenic, just badly written too. I knew it was a bad idea, but I figured it was just me hating my writing again, so I brushed it off and published it anyway.

TL;DR I knew it was a bad idea, but I just said fuck it.

Writing a Schizo story isn't even an entirely positive thing anyway, not sure what you were trying to chase there.

Well, if you were truly inspired to make a schizophrenic story, it is possible, but probably not a quick road to publishing it.  There could be several methods of accomplishing this based upon what schizophrenia is, and if you truly made your MC an individual that suffered from that diagnosis in a severe capacity.

But again, to do well this would take time and work, and generally would not be something you could just throw together in a day or so, but could make for an interesting story if done right.

I think it's more confusing than anything really, I mean you've been around almost a year now and have read quite a few storygames, that one was never making it above a 3/8. But at the end of the day most people probably just saw it as a free point, making a new thread about it may not have been the move.

The best way to move forward on a writing site is to maybe do some writing (with more effort put in), make some meaningful contributions. There's an ongoing contest, you could go and write something for it that isn't 1500ish words of random humor. If you really want to make it up to TCat specifically, you could leave a commendable review on a storygame of hers.

Good rule of thumb is to not publish a story you could've written in one shitting session until you actually know what you're doing

Usually it's just live reports, they're not pretty.
