I spent a week writing the story. I waited three days and read the story I had written and to be honest it was really garbage.
I edited and rewrote the story and took took four more days. I waited another day and read the story aloud and it was still garbage.
I tried one more time to make something worth reading. That took another three days. I read it again and it didn't smell a whole lot better.
I repeated my effort three more times because a real writer told me that editing and rewriting at least six times is the minimum to create a good story.. I read it aloud three times and unfortunately I still had a lot of garbage.
I decided to write the story one final time and correct it for spelling and punctuation and then I read it again and wouldn't you just know it. It was still garbage
I loved it.
