Today is the last day to join, so if you want in on it, be sure to read over the rules and PM Shakespearicles!Disclaimers · 1:27am Mar 21st, 2016
This is a general writing disclaimer of sorts...
I really hate apologizing for the quality of my writing, or my grammar, or [insert writer insecurity here]. To me, it just feels like a wasted effort. I mean, if I KNOW what my story is lacking, or even what I'm doing wrong, then instead of apologizing for it, maybe I should just not do that bad thing? Well, in this case, I truly do not know what exactly the "bad thing" is. I've posted updates before my editor has had a chance to read before, because I'm confident that while I may miss some things, my readers can still experience the story without feeling some kind of murderous grammar rage. In the case of Chapter 12 for What They Expect to Give, however, my anxieties come more from the execution of the chapter and its place in the story, as opposed to the technical quality of it.
I guess I really won't know until someone protests it somehow... Please let me know what you guys think?
On the one hand, I want to help...
On the other hand, the premise is not personally interesting to me, and I would hate to taint my criticisms with the ennui of having to get up to speed with the story.
I hope that doesn't come across as callous.

No that's fair! This was geared toward my pre-existing readers.
