I miss the days when people had a little pride in what they posted. They would proofread -- weed out all the little spelling and grammar mistakes and even the plot errors-- and when they posted the story, it would be WHEN they said they would post it. And there wasnt any of this "im bored so i stopped writing it" or "its my story so i dont care if anybody likes what theyre reading or not". Not because they bowed to public opinion, not at all. Because they had a story to tell and they freaking told it to the best of their abilities. Writers nowadays -- not all, of course, but an unfortunate amount-- are just full of crap. But luckily for them, the readers' attention spans these days are so short that they couldnt care less if theyre reading a good story. As long as they get the smut and the over the top drama in as few sentences as possible, these readers are happy. But im getting off my soapbox-- ive no intention of trying to fix anything. Wattpad lowered its standards years ago -- readers and authors alike -- but so did Amazon, Goodreads, heck even B&N doesnt care as long as they can make a profit. Read what you want, im not saying not to. I just miss those days is allb
