Nothing to apologize for. Here's my take from what you say, people get stuck on the first piece of information they get. Mama Mia...

I guess not everything I come up with is that good eh ;D

BloodySpghetti,

In the first draft, nothing is good. I put it down and then I have to go over it and over it to make it sound tolerable to me. Then I start analyzing the spelling and grammar and doing the merciless editing. The story usually shrinks by a quarter in the process. Then I post it on this forum. It will go through perhaps three drafts here, rewriting several sections and shrinking by another quarter.

That is what it takes to cook fine creepypasta. That's required for any sort of fiction.

I came here to learn. I don't have the answers. All I know is that I don't know.
