Today, I made a fool of myself, yet again! I read a short story to a group today, and realized how bad it is. First off, originally this short story was very long, but then I had to cut out over 5,000 words for a competition. I always had a problem with it, and couldn't figure out why. Then I changed it from first person to third. It was a big difference for the better. Then today, as I read the story aloud to a writers group, I realized all the errors and how bad the story is. I was very embarrassed. I even stayed behind, after everyone left, and asked the leader of the group if I was kidding myself. Yeap, I always asked that. He said no, but knowing what I'm capable of, he was disappointed in that story.
I need to re-work this story and make it original. As it stands, it's crap.
