10 months agoThis whole thread is the best motivation for anyone who wants to be a published author but doesn’t think they’re good enough. Even with an all time great like McCarthy, there will always be those who think they’re bad at writing.
I haven’t quite DNF’d it as in I’ll never pick it up, but I’m sorry, I’ve tried 5 separate times to read through the Lord of the Rings, and I just can’t make it past chapter 2. It got so bad that I vowed to just a couple pages a day until I got to the interesting stuff. Part of me thinks to just outright skip the first entire section since I already know what happens for the most part.
