Why should we trust you? They’re plenty of shit writing out there that’s Good Enough to get paid.

Trust me, it’s not.

That’s a silly thing to say. Like I said, I could read something like that from time to time so you’re asking me to trust you over my own experience. People also post/publish fiction of varying quality all over the internet, and it gets read. I’ve seen worse writing than that with hundreds or thousands of reads.

Maybe you’re only talking about a publisher buying the work and publishing it but you never said anything like that. Even so, I’ve seen some books that were pretty bad so I’m not sure I’d trust you even there.

For a writer… You’re not writing a whole lot or even really trying to break down why it’s a bad story…
