Can a book be well-written, but bad?

Hell, yes. In many ways.

A book has to be well written on many different levels to be a good book. Here are some of the levels at which a book must be well written:

- Mechanics: It must have good spelling and grammar.
- Craftsmanship: The characters, plot, pacing, setting, etc., should be competently constructed.

Well, I guess that after all this time, I have accomplished something. The only question is...what. It exceeds 20,000 words and has a beginning, middle, and end. But, that said, it has some continuity errors, and stretches my imagination almost too far. And one thing is perfectly clear, I really can't edit this monster myself. Yikes!

My first story up here on fimfiction is not my first story I have ever written. That honor goes to a story I called "The Scythe of Man" which was an original world, but to be honest it ended up as Gundam fanfiction. I wrote that in 2006. I've been writing on and off since then. (Thank you, NaNoWriMo) Actually, the first time I tried to ever really write something was in 1999 or 2000, when I tried to write a novel. I managed all of 6 handwritten pages that first time, and it predictably

I know, me... Bendy is not the best of writers out there. I often write really dumb stories with poor grammar, robotic dialogue, or whatever. Yet somehow, I managed to get a rather large following here on fimfiction even though I'm a trash writer.

With all that said, what am I good at in my writing? I like to hear your point of view on the matter, my followers.

[ADDED MARCH 11 2023: I wish I hadn't posted this. I posted it because I liked his take on redemption; but the lead-up to it, in which he accuses Americans of loving "pain porn", is both dumb and hypocritical. After cutting out the dumb part, there isn't enough good stuff left to be worth reading.]

An insurance company has hired me as an email & front-end dev and while this is wonderful for my financial situation it is also eating up most of my days. 1.5 hour commute in the morning, 8 hours at work, 2 hour commute home. Such is life.

Writing is about putting words together, so that the reader can understand you.

It's about the choice of words. It's about the order and syntax. It's about language and linguistic, accent and dialect.
That is the foundation of writing, and any writer who aspires to become an excellent writer must understand that.

The Internet is filled with advice on writing, but the worst advice is here on fimfic.

Right, first things first; I meant to bring this up sooner after my last blog post explained my family situation, but between work, RPing, and writing (which I'll get to in a bit) it sort of slipped my mind. First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who commented on my blog post or reached out to me privately regarding the situation with my grandfather. It was a big help during a time when I was still trying to get my head back on straight, and I deeply appreciate each and every one of you.

I just started reading a book called The Book of Barely Imagined Beings, which is about animals that are little more obscure in the world of natural history. This mostly involves things like barrel sponges and sea worms and things like that, but the first animal discussed in the book is the axolotl or Mexican Salamander. This passage in particular was quite interesting:

I'm working on a battle scene in a new chapter for Prisoner and Savior and would like to get a second opinion on it.

Chapter 4 of The Danger Within is up. I rather struggled with this one, not least because our weather seems to have forgotten that England isn't supposed to have ice days and blizzards. Still, it's up now, and I'm relieved to have got it done. Note that the [Violence] tag has now been added -- nothing much for now, but it's there. Onward to chapter 5 I go!

Well, okay, that's true every day of our lives, to a greater or lesser extent. But this year is the first in Fimfiction's existence with no new Friendship is Magic. Curiously enough -- or perhaps not -- I feel more motivated to create Pony stuff now than I have done in a long time. And since my art looks like the meanderings of a half-dead, half-drunk centipede and my singing is only permitted to be revealed in public at convention karaoke sessions, that means

I think part of my problem is I have a fear of first drafts. I don't know what they look like, and I try to skip them entirely. I don't suppose any of you can point me towards some collection of first drafts alongside their completed states, can you?
