For some reason, pieces like this (from The Onion, of course), make me feel better about my writing efforts:
"Chapter 1: Clark," Reports Awful Manuscript.
Of course, it's easy to make fun of bad writers. (Or, in this case, skillfully write the first few paragraphs of a terrible fictitious novel, then make fun of its imaginary author.) If this were a real manuscript I'd been given to read, I'd try to give its author some serious suggestions for improving his work. But since "local aspiring novelist Brandon Heath" doesn't exist, there's a certain satisfaction in just saying, "Yes, that sucks."
