“To write is human, to edit is divine.”~ Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft This whole story was actually in the workshop for quite awhile. Over a year and I reposted it to see what would happen. I understand the plot holes and the grammar needs to be worked on. I was just reading the story over, and the truth is, it's based on a true story. The reasons there are so many plot holes is because I don't know what fills them. I have no idea what any of that stuff is. I have no idea how or why it connects, it's still a mystery to me. That being said, I don't think that simply claiming that it's a true story can save this piece, even if I work through it and make some of the statements within more brief in description. I agree that a lot of descriptikon in here wasn't neccessary and i'm beginning to see how anticlimatic the story is.

I honeslty think I don't want to waste anymore time on it, it's a piece that was a good learning experience but I think I should probably scrap it and move on with my newly learned lessons. I've thought of several ways to fill in the plot holes but then it just doesn't seem right to me. It would feel like lying, even though I'm just making some fiction based on a real experience. The fact itself that I even claim it's real probably sounds super nutty, I should probably scrap it for that reason alone.

I'm tempted to go back and tweak everything mentioned and try a few things with it, along with a few more flaws I've found, but I feel it might just be a wasted energy.
