Have you ever written a certain story/scene/chapter that made you go: "I shouldn't have posted that." As you cringe from embarrassment?

What exactly did you write that warranted such a reaction?

I didn't post it, but while I was trying to work out Alraune anatomy, I had the bright idea of a mother teaching her daughters how it all worked. Needless to say, it's just as bad as Sex Ed in middle school was.

Honestly, I don't regret anything I wrote. Even though it might be painful to read nowadays.
In fact, I often treasure that stuff as my first steps and enjoy that I have at least somewhat grown as a writer... :ROFLMAO:

Stuff that I regret posting on the internet would have been more private stuff on the internet. Nothing like phone numbers or address or such, but stuff people used to attack me like relationship details or thoughts on certain topics. Grew up in a well-sheltered environment and that was the price I had to pay to learn that a lot of people will become assholes if they can get away with it...

Everything I've ever written. I have VERY poor self-image and the like, so I think I suck even though others disagree. Trying to fix that, but certainly is not easy. Damn brain is defective, need to get it serviced.

I wrote a seventy page story that was pure woman bashing. Didn't recognize it as a problem until nearly a year later, when I broke up with my gf and quit drugs. Some of the most malignant shit I've ever written, and I die a little inside everytime I read it.

I regret nothing. NOTHING!!!
Especially since I didn't post anything yet.

Ok, maybe that I'm turning my protagonist into some self-aware parody of a Shoujo-villain-turned-MCs-love-interest. You know, the prettyboy with fancy costume, acting all "UOHHH, Imma so mysterious!!!!" while swagging around the plot.

I'm letting my MC do the same. And he's enjoying it in secret. But he'll deny it if ever asked xD

I regret writing a good novel (in my opinion) and posted it on webnovel as well as take their contract once

I posted my first two chapters pretty much unedited and it took hours to fix up both.

Seriously regret all those first impressions that could have been a lot better!

Everything I write comes from my mind. I'm simply a vessel used to record visual inferences from universes and dimensions across time and space. However, since I'm the only one who can see through these parameters, I must not freak out the masses and call them 'fiction.'

Why would I lie or cringe when everything I write has happened before?
