Bad Writing Examples

[la_samtyr]

Sometimes I run across *published* work is so awful that well, it just has to be shared. Actually, it should be held up as an example as how *not* to write. (I'm still trying to figure out just how this guy conned his way into getting published by a mainstream publisher in the first place.)

These posts are at another elle jaye, so read at your own risk. Go to: vandonovan and look for the entries "Very purple" and "Silk and Steel returns".

I tried to read it all, but couldn't. Very, um...descriptive. I don't like to bash other people's writing, so let's just say it was a little too wordy for my tastes. Wow.

Yes, it makes the mind boggle. My mind has yet to un-boggle. I guess you didn't get to meet Thud Mollockle then.
